Moshe Safdie (born 1938) has reshaped urban architecture through modular housing, civic spaces, and nature-integrated design. His breakthrough project, Habitat 67 in Montreal, pioneered prefabricated, high-density housing and remains an architectural landmark. Other signature works include the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, the Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum, and the Jewel Changi Airport. Safdie’s philosophy emphasizes light, connectivity, and cultural identity, making him a leader in adaptive urban planning. A recipient of the AIA Gold Medal (2015), his legacy continues to shape contemporary architecture with designs that balance innovation, sustainability, and human experience.
