Habitat-67-ordinary residential building. But only by its main function. Its founder, Canadian-Israeli architect Moshe Shafdi, decided to build an apartment building with a very ambitious method: randomly placing residential blocks, so that in the end it turned out to be something very complex form, distant reminiscent of the Cathedral of the Parisian Mother of God.

Architect Shafdi sought to comfortably arrange as many people as possible in the minimum territory. Each residential block has a separate front garden and the courtyard.

Another version of cubic houses was built by the Dane Pete Blom in the Dutch Rotterdam. Square from all sides the blocks are 45 degrees (so they turned into rhombic) and one angle is placed on ordinary one -story buildings. Thus, a whole square street has grown.

Residents quickly chose rhombic apartments. One small drawback, they say, is that a quarter of space is unsuitable for housing due to an uncomfortable location of oblique walls.
