Revisited: Habitat 67 by James Brittain
The architectural photographer, James Brittain, presents a series of large scale colour photographs documenting Montreal’s Habitat 67, the residential complex designed by the Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie as the Canadian Pavilion for the World Exposition of 1967.
The contrast between the current, layered and patinated character of this extraordinary building and the projective, idealised drawings for its inception, prompts questions about the representation of architecture and its inhabitation, the capacity architectural form has for embracing change and the way in which buildings, and photographs of buildings, can articulate the passage of time, or attest to enduring and monumental qualities.
“Photography has always been central to our understanding of and engagement with modern architecture. Is it still possible to photograph the places where we live and work, the spaces around us, thoughtfully and usefully? And if so, how do we do that? I’ve been thinking about layers and traces of life left on architecture over time. I’ve also been considering the way Habitat 67 itself has aged, how it’s used and inhabited, and how both public and private space at the complex has been adapted by the residents. The photographs are also a response to the daily dose of digital imagery of architecture on social media and the web. Mainstream photography of architecture has largely withdrawn from communicating the experience of buildings and spaces, and specific moments spent in places. The line between digital render and photograph has also become increasingly blurred. In the pursuit of standing out in the visual noise, much contemporary imagery of architecture has reduced itself to the ordinary – clean, similar and mundane.” ~ James Brittain
