'''Montreal Biosphere''', 160 chemin Tour-de-l'Isle [http://biosphere.ec.gc.ca/General_Information-WSE1C6BC4A-1_En.htm]. The former United States pavillion from Expo 67, a geodesic dome designed by R. Buckminster Fuller. It now houses an Environment Canada museum dedicated to water and the environment.
'''Habitat 67''', 2600 avenue Pierre-Dupuy ''(take Chemin du Moulins exit from Hwy 10 south),'' 514-866-5971 [http://cac.mcgill.ca/safdie/habitat/]. This visually striking residential building was created by architect Moshe Safdie for Expo 67. The result was an amazingly modern dwelling that challenged the way architects created urban homes. Compared alternately to a beehive, a Taos pueblo, and a crystalline growth, the complex's 154 units are composed of prefabricated concrete cubes assembled on site. The apartments here are highly prized and a number of prominent Montrealers make Habitat 67 their home.
