Habitat 67 by Nico Tracey
Nico Tracey's Habitat 67 reimagines Moshe Safdie's iconic Montréal housing complex through the lens of graphic collage. The stacked, interlocking residential modules — radical in 1967, still visionary today — are flattened into geometric forms that echo the building's own prefabricated logic. Tracey works with blocks of warm concrete grey, soft sky, and shadow to produce a composition that is both architecturally faithful and wholly graphic, capturing the utopian optimism of Brutalist social housing without nostalgia. The portrait format mirrors the building's own vertical ambition. A modern canvas print for architecture enthusiasts.
Printed on cotton canvas in our Berlin studio, the tactile woven surface suits the material weight of Tracey's concrete palette — adding depth and warmth to a canvas print defined by structure and geometry.
