FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2016-09-30 by Mateo Buitrago
Here we have a small view of a really nice neighborhood in the city of Medellin. This place is called Carlos E, and it is considered a land mark of the city, even though it is private. In the picture we see the types of vehicles that transit the area, and some comercial spaces. These spaces show particular characteristics of design, materials, and also how the people move around, sit or interact with the place. The structure seems a little old, but still alive. The types of businesses also provide information. Considering all of these visuals, we can come up with invisible information. The density, per capita capacity of acquisition, stile of living, eating, also the weather, and by the shape of the building, we could say it is a parking space, therefore, it must have some movement in a time of the day. It seems not so crowded anyways. From these invisible information, I would say that the income clarification might be one of importance, since this defines characteristics about commercial spaces, and possible improvements. Also, in this country, the use of motorcycles is also high, so transportation and mobility is influenced by this.
