Moshe Safdie's Habitat 67, built for the 1967 world's fair in Montreal, stacks identical concrete boxes into an irregular hill of apartments. Each unit is offset from its neighbors so that the roof of one becomes a garden terrace for another, and gaps through the stack let light and views pass through. Wikidata classifies the complex as brutalist architecture.
