The provided image is of Habitat 67, constructed for the 1967 World Expo in Montreal, Canada and designed by Canadian architect Moshe Safdie. The design and construction is a prime example of modular design.
Each of the buildings was designed to interact directly with other apartment buildings. Further, construction was done with prefabricated sections, allowing for this complex design to be build relatively quickly and for lower costs than a similar building. While the external design is relatively complex, the facade belies the complexity of design required to build the complex.
