Moshe Safdie is the 2016 winner of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum's National Design Award, for Lifetime Achievement. Safdie is a leading architect, urban planner, educator, theorist and author, who
explores the essential principles of socially responsible design with a distinct visual
language. Beginning with his architectural thesis at McGill University in 1964 and his first
built project, the seminal Habitat ’67 in Montréal, Safdie’s catalog of work and contributions
to the dialogue on sustainable urbanism are unsurpassed in contemporary practice. With his
Somerville, Mass.-based firm, Safdie Architects, Safdie’s recent projects include Mamilla
Center in Jerusalem; Marina Bay Sands in Singapore; Khalsa Heritage Centre in Punjab, India;
and the United States Institute of Peace headquarters in Washington, D.C. Safdie has been
recognized widely for his enduring influence on the built environment and was recently
awarded the 2015 AIA Gold Medal. He continues to inspire the theory and application of
ideas about mixed-use and high-density housing in cities around the world. |
