Some of the invisible information is the amount of rain that it's falling and the amount of ultraviolet sun rights that it's available at this moment of the day. 3. I choose the amount of rain as my no visible information that can contribute to the design of future cities. if we use the information available in the climatological stations around the city, we can determined the amount of rain in one year. At the same time, we can determined the places in the city with more precipitation (in the aburra valley, the south has more rain than the north of the valley). All this combined with the use of permeable concrete or cement on the streets, let's us create underground storage for the city, this way we can use rain water for diferent purposes. If we put the permeable concrete on the south, we can, by gravity, use this water in the northern part of the city.
