The building is twelve floors high, and are surrounded by trees, grass, parked cars, and more buildings that look exactly the same. 2) Two pieces of 'invisible information' that I can extract from the visible information of this photo are: A) The 'melting pot' of diverse cultures, religions, foods, languages, nationalities, races, education levels, and jobs. B) The Housing workers who come to work everyday to keep our complex clean, in repair, manicured, maintained, and working in the best order possible. 3) I believe that this invisible information can become knowledge, and contribute to the planning of a more livable urban space by, maybe forming a weekly, or monthly group get together from all the buildings in the project complex, or maybe just our own building, and do what we allowed with respect to beautifying the complex in particular, and the neighborhood in general.
