How to Make a Subway Map with John Tauranac
Hear from an author and map designer who has been creating maps of the NYC subway, officially and unofficially, for over forty years!
Last week we went up to the 90th floor of 1 WTC and inside the Calatrava Transportation Hub with our Google Glass. It was awesome, but one thing we wanted to show separately was the fun graffiti from the construction workers that’s all over the support walls. There were manifestos, signatures, philosophical inquiries, and even a Garfield. Most will likely be painted over, but will some be uncovered decades later when the building gets fixed?
