Growing up in Montreal, Habitat has always been a presence I admired and drew inspiration from. No matter the season or time it feels both modern and timeless.
Fabrika is a short film I made inspired by Montreal's Habitat 67. After having interviewed Marie Saint Pierre for a CBC special called Secrets of Montreal. Marie Saint Pierre was nice enough contribute some of her collection. It became a opportunity to create a short piece around both her designs and Habitat 67.
“Habitat ‘67 is really two ideas in one. One is about prefabrication, and the other is about rethinking apartment-building design in the new paradigm.”
