The jury says
Henry's design skills represent social innovation at its best, providing us with hope for the future. His thesis project, Solar Desalination Skylight, is part of his efforts to create better living conditions for poor communities in Chile, disconnected from primary resources like formal water, light, and energy systems. With special attention to design's social and environmental aspects, he solves highly complex problems in an impressively low-tech way that reflects simplicity, practicality, and beauty.
