FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2019-08-11 by Omar Elmahdy
This photo was taken in an area called 'Taawun' in Sharjah from a 12th floor tower Visible information -It is a new area as there is a couple to several construction sites going on. -It is by the coastline and therefore from the image shown of the sky is high in humidity. There is no one walking around which shows the weather is not really great and unbearable to walk outside. -Huge parking area which shows that people use cars a lot rather than public transportation Invisible information -Wether these towers are for residential purposes of offices. -Where are the cars going and if this is a frequent road taken by these vehicles. To provide valuable information we could see when are those parking spaces empty, is it during working hours or is it random? We could take a look at the number of cars in the parking spaces during working hours (morning to evening) and evaluate if these are residential towers and that people travel from the road shown in the picture to go to their work. Note: Photo was taken in a public holiday, hence the empty street.
