About our Sponsors
NESTABIDE
NestAbide, co‑founded in 2018 by engineers Nanma Gireesh and Ben K. George in Kerala, is a trailblazing startup that focuses on research, design and construction of amphibious, flood‑resilient homes and structures. Their flagship prototype, Amphi Nest, is India’s first working amphibious pavilion with a concrete buoyant foundation, designed to float when water levels rise and resettle when they return to ground. NestAbide has received recognition in Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 and secured support for low‑income amphibious housing initiatives in Kerala through partnerships with government bodies like K‑DISC. We are proud to announce that NestAbide will be a proud sponsor of ICAADE 2025.
Buoyant Foundation Project
The Buoyant Foundation Project (BFP) is a research-based initiative founded by architect and professor Elizabeth English at the University of Waterloo, Canada. The project focuses on developing affordable, low-tech amphibious retrofitting solutions that enable buildings to float temporarily during floods and safely return to their original position afterward. BFP’s work began in post-Katrina New Orleans and has since expanded globally, advocating for amphibious architecture as a practical and resilient alternative to conventional flood mitigation strategies. Their research and community-based implementations have played a crucial role in mainstreaming the concept of amphibious design in both academic and policy spheres. The Buoyant Foundation Project is also a sponsor of ICAADE 2025, contributing valuable expertise and long-standing leadership in the global conversation on amphibious architecture.
