Safdie, Moshe

Safdie, Moshe
(1938- )
   World-renowned architect, he was born in Haifa and educated and trained in North America. He established a name for himself as the creator of "Habitat 67" at the 1967 World's Fair Exposition in Montreal. He opened an office in Jerusalem in 1970 and became intimately involved with the rebuilding of the old city's Jerusalem Quarter and the integration of the old city with the modern new city. Over the years, his involvement expanded to include the planning of the new urban community of Modi'in, the new Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, the Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Center, and Ben-Gurion Airport.
