With a career spanning over five decades, Moshe Safdie is a global architectural pioneer whose work transcends traditional boundaries. From the revolutionary Habitat 67 in Montreal to the world-renowned Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and Jewel Changi Airport, Safdie’s portfolio consists of landmarks that redefine their city’s identity.
Safdie’s “human-centric” design philosophy, centered on the idea of “for everyone a garden”, is the soul of Altair. He challenges the standard “black box” skyscraper by utilizing a revolutionary diagrid steel frame that eliminates internal columns. This allows for wide-open interiors, cross-ventilation, and private outdoor spaces, ensuring that even at great heights, residents remain connected to the natural elements of light, air, and greenery. At Altair, Safdie has not just designed a building; he has created a vertical neighborhood that serves as a living masterpiece.
