 Habitat 67, or simply Habitat, is a model community and housing complex in Montreal, Canada, designed by Israeli–Canadian architect Moshe Safdie. It was originally conceived as his master's thesis in architecture at McGill University and then built as a pavilion for Expo 67, the World's Fair held from April to October 1967. It is located on the Marc-Drouin Quay next to the Saint Lawrence River. Habitat 67 is widely considered an architectural landmark and one of the most recognizable and significant buildings in both Montreal and Canada. It has been reported many times as one of the top 10 ugliest buildings in North America and the world.(source Wikipedia)

I worked hard to get authorization to take pics directly on the site. Hope to get 6 and more

Thanks in advance for your feedback that are welcome

A thoroughly interesting piece of architecture, but I do feel that there was probably a better photo to be had.

This one has potential, but the amount of straight lines in this image simply demand sharpness and lots of it.
