Architect Moshe Safdie, who designed the celebrated Habitat 67 scheme for the Montreal expo, has built a career with the aim of humanising mega-scale urban developments
In episode 69 of Scaffold he reflects on his life in practice following the release of his memoir If Walls Could Speak.
“It’s not that I avoid a signature style, I just allow things to mutate […] I marvel in the differences of place, and I bring them out and I enjoy them because I think that I’m making buildings that are more rooted. For me this is the pleasure of design.”
– Moshe Safdie
