When, in 1960, still a student,I got a traveling fellowshipto study housing in North America.We traveled the country.We saw public housing high-rise buildingsin all major cities:New York, Philadelphia.Those who have no choice lived there.And then we traveled from suburb to suburb,and I came back thinking,we've got to reinvent the apartment building.There has to be another way of doing this.We can't sustain suburbs,so let's design a buildingwhich gives the qualities of a houseto each unit. Habitat would be all about gardens,contact with nature,streets instead of corridors.We prefabricated it so we would achieve economy,and there it is almost 50 years later.It's a very desirable place to live in.It's now a heritage building,but it did not proliferate. So a few years ago, we decided to go backand rethink Habitat.Could we make it more affordable? Could we actually achieve this quality of lifein the densities that are prevailing today?
