1967

1967 stands as a defining year in late-modernist architecture, shaped by the cultural upheaval of the 1960s and a growing fascination with megastructures, prefabrication, and utopian urbanism as architects worldwide sought radical new models for housing, mobility, and public life. The Montreal Expo 67 was a seminal showcase of that spirit, featuring Moshe Safdie’s Habitat 67 and a series of pavilions that pushed the boundaries of structure and form. Situated within the broader context of 20th-century architecture, 1967 captures the optimistic yet turbulent energy of a decade in which architecture was deeply entangled with social and political transformation.
