Architecture : Habitat '67



Habitat was the major theme exhibition of the 1967 World Exposition in Montréal. 

As a demonstration, it pioneered the design and construction of three-dimensional prefabricated units of habitation. As an urban building type, Habitat sought to mix residential, commercial, and institutional uses to create a more vital neighborhood and provide the amenities of the single-family home in a form adaptable to high densities and constrained budgets. Habitat’s 365 construction modules connect to create 158 residences. These range in size from 600-square-foot one bedroom dwellings to 1800-square-foot four-bedroom dwellings. In all, there are 15 different housing types. Stepped back in their modular placement, each residence has its own roof garden. Houses at all levels are accessed by outdoor pedestrian streets that widen into play areas at numerous locations throughout the building....../

LYFE EMITS THE MAGNETIC APPEAL OF A LEVITATING GARDEN



Make something levitate and you’ve got an eye-catching conversation starter. Make something float and grow and you’ve got Lyfe, a small planter engineered to float a 12-sided geodesic silicone planter above a wooden base as a “zero-gravity growing system”.

Similar to the magical Hoshinchu Air Bonsai with an electromagnetic base previously devised by the same Swedish company that introduced the Flyte levitating bulb, Lyfe is designed to allow plants to float and rotate for even sunlight exposure throughout the day. But let’s be honest, all this talk is secondary to the pleasure of enjoying a floating indoor garden gently rotating at your desk, a subtle technological feat of electromagnetism.

Designed specifically with air plants in mind – because of their ability to grow without soil – the planter hides a small drainage system to prevent overwatering.
