GAME
Brand New Subway, July 2016
It’s an interactive transportation planning game that lets players alter the NYC subway system to their heart’s content. Players can choose to start from scratch or one of several NYC subway maps (including present-day, maps dating back to the early 1900s, or maps from the future). They can build new stations and lines to expand the system to new areas, or tear it down and redesign the whole thing.
BOOK
Mark Ovenden, Penguin Random House, 2015
The skill of boiling down an intertwined web of routes into something that can be followed at ease, often in a rush, and occasionally in dimly lit environments, has given scope for some great designers to shine, and for some creations to attain iconic status.
WAYFINDING
P-06 Atelier, 2008-2009, Lisboa, Portugal
The lane runs along the river Tagus, and with its 7362 meters it crosses different urban spaces each one demanding different solutions. The goal was to define a new urban environment beyond the bikeway, in order to improve this area along the river. The selection of compatible and existing materials was considered in order to make clear the readability and use of the new system.
