Similar systems, different info design decisions
Last month, I went to check out the Changing Signs, Changing Times: A History Of Wayfinding In Transit exhibit at Grand Central Station in New York City. Although, the exhibit was tiny, it was both visually and informationally rich. Overall,

An Ethnographic Information Design Approach
Commuting at rush hour can be a headache, but it can be a rich learning experience too. Paradoxically, although I have been closely working with the London diagrammatic map for a long time, I have never enjoyed using the tube

First International Workshop on Schematic Mapping
Next April will take place the first 2-day Schematic Mapping Workshop held at the University of Essex. The aim of the workshop is to investigate how people use diagrammatic transport maps to navigate around cities, and to gain insights on

Evidence-based information design principles
Last week I attended a lecture entirely about underground diagrammatic maps! (one of my first loves) In the lecture, the London Underground diagram (LUD) was presented as the case study to unravel various information design and cognitive principles. Created back

Mind the gap!
Tomorrow the London Underground is 150 years old! On 8 January 1863, the journey completed between Paddington and Farringdon stations by the Metropolitan Railway (today Metropolitan line) was the very first one of the London Underground. Since then, the Underground

Underground Maps Unravelled: The Book
Yesterday, I was pleased to attend the launch of a new information design book. Max Roberts just published his second book, entitled ‘Underground Maps Unravelled. Explorations in Information Design’. This book uses the London underground diagrammatic map as the major

Legibility, Functionality and Organisation
It has been a while since I have written a post relating the London Underground diagram (LUD) and information design. This week a good friend of mine send me a link about a new layout for the LUD proposed by

Underground Maps Unravelled
Last week I visited Underground Maps Unravelled, an exhibition entirely devoted to underground diagrammatic maps, and particularly presenting an in-depth analysis of the London Underground Diagram (LUD). Dr. Maxwell Roberts explores information design alternatives of the very first LUD created

City Railway System Project
Thanks to a colleague, I knew about Zero Per Zero’s City Railway System project. This project presents a redesign of existing Underground Diagrammatic Maps based on its own aesthetic rules and analytical design principles different from that of diagrammatic maps.
