Hong Kong architects design houses made from water tubes

by Larra Morris

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.

True 3D EM Modeling Enables Fast, Accurate Analysis

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

Tired of patchwork 3D EM analysis? Impedance discontinuity can destroy your BER and cause multiple design iterations. Using today’s 3D EM modeling tools can take you days to accurately model the interconnect structures. The Clarity™ 3D Solver lets you tackle the most complex EM challenges when designing systems for 5G, high-performance computing, automotive and machine learning applications. The Clarity 3D Solver delivers gold-standard accuracy, 10X faster analysis speeds and virtually unlimited capacity for true 3D modeling of critical interconnects in PCB, IC package and system-on-IC (SoIC) designs.

Series 2 Product Security

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Silicon Labs

Side channel attacks such as differential power analysis (DPA) present a serious threat to our embedded designs. If we want to defend our systems from DPA and similar attacks, it is critical that we have a secure boot and root of trust. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Gregory Guez from Silicon Labs about DPA, secure debug, and the EFR32 Series 2 Platform.
