the announcement ... by Canada Post
the backgrounder ... by a fellow whose family moved-in to Habitat when he was a youngster ... also describes the broader Brutalist architecture movement, with the "Brutal" not meaning quite what you might think.
Brutalist architecture is suitable for a topical collection, but only if you remember to include the postcards

We saw the Expo 67 house complex in our visit to Montreal. We took the bateau mouche tour on a rainy, cloudy day. I was impressed by the concept of all those apartments stacked up. What a sight.
Also it is a good topic for collecting art or architecture or design postage stamps.
I have not looked up the definition of the word brutalist, but it is probably derived from the French "brut" meaning heavy, massive, etc. Will accept any corrections...
Also, as I collect Art on postage stamps, I'll make sure I include several stamps with that topic in my collection.
Thanks for the idea!
