1) The information that is visible in this photo are the morphology of the Lebanese coast in the region of the city oh Jounieh, the presence of a dense urban tissue stuck between the sea and the mountains and the nature of the mountains surrounding this area. 2) two "invisible information"can be extracted out of the visible information of this photo : the traffic caused by the density of the constructions, and the need of infrastructure that can absorb the flow of the residents. 3)invisible information can become knowledge and contribute to the planning of a more livable urban space by choosing between 2 strategies either expand the city towards the mountains , or conserve the natural ecosystem of these mountains and keep them as an escape for Jouniehs' residents but at the same time implement a strategy of building a mega-structure to resolve the problem of density.
