Pixelated buildings seems to be popping up everywhere. All over the world, residential structures look to be inspired by Minecraft or Lego. Is this because stacked boxes make great homes or is it just a stylistic trend? This video asks that question and takes a close look at pixelated building designs, paying special attention to Habitat 67. We interview Moshe Safdie on his thoughts and compare Habitat 1.0 with a project dubbed Habitat 2.0 under construction right now.

Correction: 00:10 This is Thailand, not Taiwan. I misspoke. My apologies.
