Abstract

The main purpose of Habitat '67 is to produce a low cost housing complex within a city and at the same time preserve the main characteristics of suburban living. Architecturally, the problem is not easy and requires ingenious and daring solutions. To make the architect's dream a reality, the structural engineers and precaster were hard pressed and had to come up with new techniques both in design and  manufacturing.
