High-tech architecture, also known as structural expressionism
incorporating elements of high tech industry and technology into building design.
High-tech architecture grew from the modernist style, utilizing new advances in technology and
building materials.
It emphasizes transparency in design and construction, seeking to communicate the underlying structure
and function of a building throughout its interior and exterior.
High-tech architecture makes extensive use of aluminium, steel, glass, and to a lesser extent concrete

HABITAT 67, or simply Habitat, is a model community and housing complex in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, designed by Israeli-
Canadian architect Moshe Safdie.
It was originally conceived as his master's thesis at the School of Architecture at McGill University and then built as a pavilion
for Expo 67, the World's Fair held from April to October 1967.
Habitat 67, designed by the Israeli-Canadian architect
Moshe Safdie as the Canadian Pavilion for the World
Exposition of 1967, was originally intended as an
experimental solution for high-quality housing in dense
urban environments. Safdie explored the possibilities of
prefabricated modular units to reduce housing costs and
allow for a new housing typology that could integrate the
qualities of a suburban home into an urban high-rise.

Safdie stated that “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.”

A pointed arch, ogival arch, or Gothic arch is an arch with a pointed
crown, whose two curving sides meet at a relatively sharp angle at
the top of the arch. This architectural element was particularly
important in Gothic architecture.
A multifoil arch (or polyfoil arch), also known
as a cusped arch, polylobed arch, or
scallopped arch, is an arch characterized by
multiple circular or leaf shapes that are cut
into its interior profile.
The term foil comes from the old French word
for "leaf."
The multifoil arch is characteristic of Islamic
art and architecture; particularly in the
Moorish architecture of al-Andalus (Iberian
Peninsula) and North Africa and in Mughal
architecture of the Indian subcontinent.
The semicircular arch , in architecture , is a type of arch that in the
intrados has the shape of a semicircle.
