Exploring the Beauty of Subway Maps in 3D

You’ve seen a map of subway stations (or if you’re Atlanta-based like KEYLAY, MARTA stations), right? It’s a bunch of flat lines showing where each line and station is in relation to the other. Pretty simple stuff. Architect Candy Chan argues that those stations are also places, and that’s partly why she drew 3-D representations of New York City’s upside down. It also served a practical purpose — after eight years in NYC, she kept getting lost. See more about Candy’s designs and think about what every-day object or item you can think about designing differently to really bring it to life!
