In this picture we can appreciate one of the most significant buildings in Mexico City, which vocation is entirely dedicated to the culture. Perhaps is the most important culture building in Mexico. The visible and intrinsic Information Architecture about this building is evidently its history, architectural expression, purpose, context, location, etc. However in order to obtain the invisible information about this place there are many questions to be asked, such as: How many visitors does it have during the year? What age, gender, education and nationality do they have? How many people uses the public transportation and how many drive by car and when? How many people just pass by this place commuting and which percentage of them is visiting the premises? How many and what kind of people visits the museum and then go to a restaurant, historic building or recreational activity in the immediate context? What is attractive for the visitors to assist to the cultural activities? What's the relationship in terms of activities and public interest for this building with the rest of the context? The answers to these questions makes clear the understanding of the inhabitants’ behaviour and provides valuable insights of the city's lifestyle and dynamics, in order to fundament future urban decisions.
