The LifE project will form part of a BRE conference on flood-resilient planning and building on 11 February 2010.
The LifE (Long-term Initiatives for Flood-risk Environments) project was the winner of the award for outstanding practice-located research. The judges’ citation reads: “
This is a substantial body of practice-based research that develops an analysis of different ways of building in flood risk areas, with an eye to the ambition of the ‘zero carbon community’, and through a series of hypothetical designs and master plans. The documents communicate well, are skilfully illustrated, and are easy to navigate, serving as valuable references for practitioners and students who must deal with the urgent pressures from climate change and the demand for secure and affordable housing.”
