Fun and Games

This building is Moshe Safdie's Habitat 67 in Montreal. I really like how each apartment/complex is layered. I'm not sure how you would get to the top or how the stairs work. However, although the building is very awkward it appeals to the eye because of it's awkwardness. I don't think I would ever live in the building, I'd be afraid it would collapse. However, it is very intrestingly designd. I like the color of it and since it is layered you can see straight through some sections. It reminds me a lot of this old wooden block game I used to play as a kid. Where you took different sections out with out making the structure fall. I think this is exactly what Safdie did.
