The invisible information that we could make visible are the following: On the left, the main underground building is located so there are lot of people walking into the stop. Therefore, a people flow exists where the people come and go, as a consequence, the urban planners could have an idea how they could desing the future projects arround the stop and the main point of the avenue.

On both sides of the path, the streets where the cars and taxis are driven allow the people to move into the city.
