Waterloo Architecture graduate Prithula Prosun's master thesis was recently featured in O Globo, one of the largest newspapers in Brazil.
Prosun's 2011 thesis, The LIFT House (Low-Income Floodproof Technology) was originally designed and constructed in Dhaka, Bangladesh as a solution for sustainable housing for low-income communities in flood-prone areas.
The O Globo article examines the technology and how might be adapted for use in remote areas of Brazil.
Prosun received a Canadian Architect Award of Merit for The LIFT House in 2011.
