You can see a multi-floor commercial tower constructed in reinforced concrete. The style is from the 1970's when LA was booming. 2. Invisible information would be light demand based on floors of the office which would tell us work trends by companies. Also, employee card swipes at the front door would tell us when people arrive at work on various day.s 3. We could use the light information to know when the power grid needs to be prepared for more demand. The employee card swipes would tell us when the various offices need to be air conditioned, so we could reduce overall energy output by narrowing to peak windows when people work.
