Habitat 67, a striking example of brutalist architecture, stands out along the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal, offering photographers a unique subject against the flowing backdrop of the river. Created as a pavilion for Expo 67, this residential complex is famed for its interlocking prefabricated concrete forms, presenting a visual puzzle that changes with the light of day. Ideal for architectural photography, its complex geometry and waterfront location provide endless angles and reflections, especially at sunrise or sunset. Visitors should respect the privacy of residents and shoot from public vantage points along the opposite side of the river. Public access is easy, with parking nearby, making it a must-visit for photographers. (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
