I live close to this place so I can see daily this small square surrounded by new buildings, old small houses and a free plot. We can see also: The careless urban furniture, the location of the refuse containers, the road quality, the number of parking cars, private garages, street scale and connections, infrastructure, nature, lack of use-people,… 2_Invisible Information: 1_Estimated budget area: If you analyze the environment you can see that the level of urban quality is very low because nobody cares about that public space. You can imagine the kind of people that live in that district. 2_Free plot problem: In this image we can also find out that having a free plot in your neighborhood could become a problem because it attracts dirt, bugs, garbage and it produces bad smelling. 3_Knowledge: 2*_Free Plot Problem: In this case, we can learn about how to build a barrier between the plot and the public space. We have to think that the owner of the plot should consider the impact of this urban gap and its maintenance. In addition, I think that the refuse containers should have a proper own space in the neighborhood. In addition, they could be integrated in the urban space as another urban item. “Small Urban Architecture”
