Hurricane vs. Tiny Houses

A visit to the wave lab to learn about how hurricanes affect coastal structures. Engineering is a balancing act; we need structures that are both strong and safe, but also affordable, easy to occupy, and maybe even architecturally pleasing. Using knowledge gained from tests like this helps us get a clearer definition of the edges of the problem we’re solving. Huge thanks to Dr. Dan Cox and his team of researchers at Oregon State University for inviting us to film this test. Check them out here: https://engineering.oregonstate.edu/w...
