Flood Resilient Homes in Vietnam

Documentary / 2018 / (8:25)

This documentary follows the Buoyant Foundation Project team from University of Waterloo, a Global Resilience Partnership grantee, as they retrofit homes to improve the resilience of flood-vulnerable communities in Vietnam. Working alongside community members, the team retrofitted two homes each in An Giang and Long An provinces. These amphibious retrofits build on the traditional stilt housing by allowing them to rise with floodwaters during monsoon season, protecting their homes, land, and livelihoods. Supported by the Z Zurich Foundation through the Water Window Challenge.
