Un puente de vidrio puede ser perfectamente seguro y, aun así, resultar difícil de cruzar. La estructura puede haber sido diseñada para soportar cargas enormes, y el vidrio puede haber sido cuidadosamente probado y estar firmemente sujeto. Desde el punto de vista de la ingeniería, quizá no haya ninguna razón para temerlo. Sin embargo, paraContinueContinue reading “Cómo la percepción determina la verdadera medida del diseño”
