The University of Waterloo, Canada, has adapted a model for low-cost amphibious houses, based on those used in flood-prone areas of Louisiana, USA for decades, for the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, considering the local environmental, economic and social context. Data from the project will be used to develop a sustainable business model for replicating the housing design, and support an overall climate change adaptation strategy throughout the region and beyond.
