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!
Tomorrow, join Untapped New York for a deep dive into the history and secrets of the New York City subway system. In this virtual event, which is part of Archtober‘s month-long celebration of architecture and design, you will explore the world’s largest subway system with Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer. Discover the fascinating beginnings of the New York City subway in this visual experience adapted from our popular Underground Tour of the New York City Subway. Guests will get to see photographs of spaces even the most seasoned commuter might not know about. Discover the story of the very first subway which was built illegally under the cover of night and uncover many other surprising stories. Plus, see inside abandoned stations that riders unknowingly pass by every day, including the famed City Hall Station.
