Shape of the City: Moshe Safdie with Paul Goldberger
Architecture critic Paul Goldberger interviews architect Moshe Safdie. Safdie shares examples of his work, including the then-recently finished National Gallery of Canada and Habitat 67. They discuss how Safdie adapted his architectural school thesis (McGill University) into Habitat 67, a three-dimensional, prefabricated neighborhood complex designed to introduce the amenities of single-family homes into an urban environment. They also discuss Safdie’s approach to urban housing and the architectural competitions that he has entered. The discussion concludes with audience questions.
Recorded Oct 17, 1988 at 92nd Street Y, New York.
