Hong Kong architects design houses made from water tubes

Hong Kong has been the most expensive city in the world to buy a house in for the last seven years, so architects like James Law have gone small with their designs, creating micro-homes to maximize land use.

But James’ micro-homes aren’t like the tiny houses that were all the rage a few years back, because he uses concrete water pipes to make his cylindrical homes. Continue reading at Neatorama

One thought on “Hong Kong architects design houses made from water tubes”

  1. Good: The landlord used to work in Oil & Gas Field Tech so they won’t be flipping them like crazy.
    Bad: They’ve been collecting a lot of reusable takeaway and LP lines…
    Spec: Cavitation isn’t as bad as they say once you get used to it.

Intel's Chiplet Leadership Delivers Industry-Leading Capabilities at an Accelerated Pace

Sponsored by Intel

We're proud of our long history of rapid innovation in #FPGA development. With the help of Intel's Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB), we’ve been able to advance our FPGAs at breakneck speed. In this blog, Intel’s Deepali Trehan charts the incredible history of our chiplet technology advancement from 2011 to today, and the many advantages of Intel's programmable logic devices, including the flexibility to combine a variety of IP from different process nodes and foundries, quicker time-to-market for new technologies and the ability to build higher-capacity semiconductors

ADI's ISOverse
In order to move forward with innovations on the intelligent edge, we need to take a close look at isolation and how it can help foster the adoption of high voltage charging solutions and reliable and robust high speed communication. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton is joined by Allison Lemus, Maurizio Granato, and Karthi Gopalan from Analog Devices and they examine benefits that isolation brings to intelligent edge applications including smart building control, the enablement of Industry 4.0, and more. They also examine how Analog Devices iCoupler® digital isolation technology can encourage innovation big and small!
