(2a) The first ’invisible’ piece of information is the schedule of the tram. Although the next departures are given and a fixed schedule is places within the shelters of the tram stops. The whole network of tram lines and the interconnection between the individual tams is not visible. Next to that the travel habits of the individual travellers is present but not visible. (2b) The tower in the background is mostly a residential tower. The invisible information contained here is the data on the residents. The information has to do with names, ages, gender etc., but also on the occupation and travel destinations. (3) The data of the residents of the tower could be used to understand the patterns they follow. These are foremost the travel patterns, with also have a connections with the trams and train station. But other patterns such as the recreational facilities they attend, the income they have, if they have cars, etc. This could be used to design the public space in such a way that facilities are placed to not contradict or even support the residents of the tower and surrounding buildings. Due to the type of apartments in the tower, the residents will be of a fairly homogenous socio-economic group and therefor the current and future residents could be taken into account. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14156478418788397.jpg
