Safdie has completed a wide range of projects, including cultural, educational, and civic institutions; neighborhoods and public parks; mixed-use urban centers and airports; master plans for existing communities and entirely new cities worldwide.

Major current and recent projects by Safdie Architects include Mamilla Alrov Center in Jerusalem; Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore; Khalsa Heritage Memorial Complex in Punjab, India; US Institute of Peace Headquarters in Washington, DC; the National Campus for the Archeology of Israel; the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Missouri; and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas.

In addition to numerous articles on the theory and practice of architecture, Moshe Safdie has authored several books, most notably, Beyond Habitat (1970), For Everyone a Garden (1974), and Form and Purpose (1982), among others.

Safdie has been the recipient of numerous awards, honorary degrees, and civil honors, including the Companion Order of Canada and the Gold Medal of the Royal Architectural
