Practicalities of Edge Computing
Even the most perfect architecture can be a disaster if you aren’t familiar with the engineering challenges that are introduced by that architecture or don’t have a basic understanding of how to address them. New York City is full of beautiful examples of architecture in its skyline, with buildings that blend form and function in elegant and durable ways. There are hundreds of iconic examples with a myriad of sizes, shapes, materials, utilities, and statements.
And yet, each of these embodied significant engineering issues – whether that’s finding an economic balance between working space versus service space; managing the distribution of power, water, and ventilation; incorporating gravity-defying cantilevers; or dissipating wind shear. The point is that none of these magnificent structures would exist unless engineers had learned to recognize the various challenges of building construction and developed best practices...
