Every inch of this building’s facade will grow crops you can eat

We’ve gotten a peek at some of the other structures being built for the food-themed Milan Expo 2015, from a smog-gobbling facade for Italy to a veggie-growing restaurant for France. Now here’s the American pavilion, which is inspired by three signature food-related structures for the U.S.: A barn, a boardwalk, and—of course!—food trucks.

Designed by Biber Architects, the U.S. pavilion is named “American Food 2.0: United to Feed the Planet” and will explore food production, sustainable farming methods, and health and nutrition. Rainwater harvesting as well as hydroponic methods will be used to grow food on the structure’s exterior, and solar panels on the roof will power the entire building.

IoT Data Analysis at the Edge
No longer is machine learning a niche application for electronic engineering. Machine learning is leading a transformative revolution in a variety of electronic designs but implementing machine learning can be a tricky task to complete. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Louis Gobin from STMicroelectronics investigate how STMicroelectronics is helping embedded developers design edge AI solutions. They take a closer look at the benefits of STMicroelectronics NanoEdge-AI® Studio and  STM32Cube.AI and how you can take advantage of them in your next design.
