1.This image was taken on the 4th of July 2020 at 1.50pm. In this image we can clearly see the visible information that this place is a commercial mall.We can see some of the services like the lighting, escalators, HVAC etc. We can also see a lot of people moving around in masks. 2.In this image some of the invisible information that we can see is the fact that this is the time of a pandemic Covid-19 which has caused havoc worldwide. Lot of people at the malls during a Pandemic prove the importance of public spaces in a urban system. 3.Singapore has just lifted phase 2 of lock-down, yet there are so many people in the mall who have just come out for socializing. This gives us an idea of how important public spaces are for the mental well-being of people. Hence with this information the city planners can plan for the future a city which can be safe for the citizens in times of Pandemics, yet give them an opportunity to interact with each other by designing special public spaces which at all times keep the safety of citizens in mind.
