Moshe Safdie

Moshe Safdie (born 1938) is an Israeli-Canadian architect and urban designer. He is best known for Habitat 67, the modular housing complex created for Expo 67 in Montreal, which brought him international attention. Safdie has since led an extensive practice focused on architecture, urban design, and large-scale civic and cultural commissions in multiple countries. His work often explores dense, human-scaled living, public space, and the relationship between buildings and their urban settings. Over a long career, he has designed a wide range of projects, from housing to major public institutions, and has remained an influential figure in contemporary architecture.
