Visible information is what materials are used in the structure, the shape of the building and its connection to road. We can also see another older shopping center behind the one under construction. Invisible information is that there are already 3 more shopping centers and supermarkets nearby. The question is whether we really need another shopping center. The new shopping center is built right next to cultural center; truth is that it is almost touching the other building. Cultural center used to be a dominant of the space, now it is hidden behind the other building. Another invisible information is that the shopping center is built on the site what used to be a green space. A lot of people would certainly prefer a small park or zone for relaxation. Now it is just taking from already small space of green in the town and therefore it is changing into concrete jungle.
