Sophia Mark Germany – TV-Tower Mannheim 2016-08-23 This pic shows a part of the suburbancity Visible in this pic- Buildings - 1 In the picture ypu can see where i live ( it's a very modern cube - whereas the middle of the cube is a playinggarden for children). My working place is only 5 minutes awayfrom my home. The area on the picure is 10 Min. away from the center of Mannheim, The big buildings are mostly big companies or banks, on the right side the skyscrapper which is the university of Applied science and on the left side is the big coal power plant and also the Industrial Estate. In the foreground we can see the animalpark (Luisenpark) surounded by the villa's of the higher society of the town- they have very nice and beautiful houses and architecture. Mannheim has both very old houses and industrial buildings like we see in the picture. There are many trees which makes the town very attractive to live in. 2_Identify and present two "invisible information" that can be extracted out of the visible information of this photo. 1. Invisible Information are the visitors of these buildings, also the dynamic and the habits of the daily working people. Secondly in this picture is the invisible information of the main street which leads through the whole city and out of the town directly to the highway. 3_Select one of your choices from the previous question and describe how this invisible information can become knowledge and contribute to the planning of a more liveable urban space. Telekomunnicationsystem - invisible I'll teke the invisible Information of the number of working people in this picture to describe through their habits which kind of telecommnication device they use and also when, how long and how they use it. From this we can conclude what kind of communication structures are used from working people in growing cities. This important information we can then exclude to change into knowledge. This transformed invisible Information can play a very important role for planning and create livable Future cities.
