Moshe Safdie
An incredible architect, Moshe Safdie was born in Haifa, Israel in the year of 1938. He and his family moved to Canada later on. He graduated from McGill University with a degree in architecture. Moshe was an apprentice for Louis Kahn in Philadelphia. Once he was finished, Moshe moved back to Montréal to take charge of the plan for the world exhibition in 1967; where he came up with the genius idea for Habitat ’67 (seen below, left). Habitat ’67 is a Canadian apartment building in Montreal. It has a very unique design that’ looks as if many boxes are just randomly piled. In 1970, Safdie developed an office to help rebuild Jerusalem. He was responsible for restoring the old parts and re-making the center, linking them both. Moshe Safdie also did a lot of teaching; He was a professor at McGill (the university he attended), Yale and Ben Gurion. He also became the director of the Urban design Program at Harvard. In the following decade he designed the national gallery of Canada (below, right), the Quebec Museum of Civilization and the Vancouver Library Square, (below, center). His most recent buildings include;
