Brad Pitt helps impoverished New Orleans residents by designing floatable houses.
The project, called Make It Right, calls for building 150 affordable, environmentally sound houses over the next two years. In a telephone interview from New Orleans, where he plans to present the designs today, Mr. Pitt said the residents of the neighborhood had been homeless long enough. “They’re coming up on their third Christmas,” he said.
It sounds like an interesting concept that could also be used in other places on water, such as Florida. Especially if global climate change really will increase the amount or intensity of hurricanes in the future. Floatable houses! Who knew?
