FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2016-12-02 by Gisele Leal
In the picture we can see a plaza next to where I live, with some urban equipments such as benches, open air gyms and garbage cans. Invisible information: - Obsolescence: Even though the picture was taken on Saturday afternoon, the plaza is empty. In front of the plaza there is a wall from a big local factory, that blocks the view and an urban permeability. -Temperature: Another factor is the absence of trees there. The benches are spread under the hot sun, making the place unusable. - Temperature – knowledge about the high temperatures that occur in the town. Knowledge about the critical points in terms of temperature at gathering places, could be a way to offer solutions about temperature reduction, like the exchange of soil coating and "afforestation".
