Joel Beath and Elizabeth Price explore this question drawing inspiration from a diverse collection of apartment designs, all smaller than 50m2/540ft2. Through the lens of five small-footprint design principles and drawing on architectural images and detailed floor plans, the authors examine how architects and designers are reimagining small space living. Full of inspiration we can each apply to our own spaces, this is a book that offers hope and inspiration for a future of our cities and their citizens in which sustainability and style, comfort and affordability can co-exist. Never Too Small proves living better doesn’t have to mean living larger.
Discover the huge possibilities of a small house! Whether you’re building from scratch or retrofitting an existing structure, these 50 innovative floor plans will show you how to make the most of houses measuring 1,400 square feet or less. Gerald Rowan presents creative and efficient layouts that use every inch of space, with tips on fully maximizing closets, porches, bathrooms, attics, and basements. From reorganizing a small storage area to building a brand-new home, you’ll find a detailed design to fit your family’s needs.
In ultra-crowded Japan, the constraints of space and form inspire rather than confound. That is readily apparent in this fascinating volume featuring impossibly tiny, narrow, odd-shaped habitats that have been transformed into peaceful, elegant oases through the innovative use of light, openness and visual harmony.

This book provides a composite solution for optimal logic designs for Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata based circuits. It includes the basics of new logic functions and novel digital circuit designs, quantum computing with QCA, new trends in quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms and applications, and algorithms to support QCA designers. Futuristic Developments in Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata Circuits for Nanocomputing includes QCA-based new nanoelectronics architectures that help in improving the logic computation and information flow at physical implementation level. The book discusses design methodologies to obtain an optimal layout for some of the basic logic circuits considering key metrics such as wire delays, cell counts, and circuit area that help in improving the logic computation and information flow at physical implementation level. Examines several challenges toward QCA technology like clocking mechanism, floorplan which would facilitate manufacturability, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for design and fabrication like simulation, synthesis, testing etc. The book is intended for students and researchers in electronics and computer disciplines who are interested in this rapidly changing field under the umbrella of courses such as emerging nanotechnologies and its architecture, low-power digital design. The work will also help the manufacturing companies/industry professionals, in nanotechnology and semiconductor engineers in the development of low power quantum computers.
Over the years, the fundamentals of VLSI technology have evolved to include a wide range of topics and a broad range of practices. To encompass such a vast amount of knowledge, The VLSI Handbook focuses on the key concepts, models, and equations that enable the electrical engineer to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of very large-scale integrated circuits. It provides the most up-to-date information on IC technology you can find. Using frequent examples, the Handbook stresses the fundamental theory behind professional applications. Focusing not only on the traditional design methods, it contains all relevant sources of information and tools to assist you in performing your job. This includes software, databases, standards, seminars, conferences and more. The VLSI Handbook answers all your needs in one comprehensive volume at a level that will enlighten and refresh the knowledge of experienced engineers and educate the novice. This one-source reference keeps you current on new techniques and procedures and serves as a review for standard practice. It will be your first choice when looking for a solution.
In the coming decades, the growth in AM will likely be driven by production parts that leverage this increase in design freedom to manufacture parts of higher performance and improved material utilization. Contrary to popular opinion, however, AM processes do have their constraints and limitations - not everything can be manufactured with AM, and even when it is feasible, not everything should. Design for Additive Manufacturing: Concepts and Considerations for the Aerospace Industry, edited by Dr. Dhruv Bhate, is a collection of ten seminal SAE International technical papers, which cover AM from the perspective of the appropriateness (should) and feasibility (can) of using AM for manufacturing of parts and tooling. Although AM technologies have been around for three decades, many in the industry believe that we are merely at the beginning of the revolution in the design-driven aspects of this technology. Indeed, half the papers in this selection were published only in the past two years, and all but one in the past decade. When it comes to design for AM, it is a safe bet that the best is yet to be.
This book comprises select proceedings of the International Conference on VLSI, Communication and Signal processing (VCAS 2020). The contents are broadly divided into three topics – VLSI, Communication, and Signal Processing. The book focuses on the latest innovations, trends, and challenges encountered in the different areas of electronics and communication, especially in the area of microelectronics and VLSI design, communication systems and networks, and image and signal processing. It also offers potential solutions and provides an insight into various emerging areas such as Internet of Things (IoT), System on a Chip (SoC), Sensor Networks, underwater and underground communication networks etc. This book will be useful for academicians and professionals alike.
