Never-Published Drawings by One of America's Greatest Architects
See sketches of never-built structures and iconic landmarks designed by 19th-century "starchitect" Henry Hobson Richardson!
Last year, Adam Chang, who runs the design firm Same Tomorrow embarked on the New York Train Project to illustrate all the mosaics of the New York City subway system. When we first reported about the project, Chang had finished all the stations Manhattan (using only 9 subway swipes). The nicely laid out website includes a tidbit about each station.
Now, Chang informs us he’s finished the signage on the 157 stations in Brooklyn which you can see at the New York Train Project. With many of the above ground stations and non-mosaics in Brooklyn, many of the graphics also show the infrastructure around the signage like columns and more. Here are some highlights you’ll see as you scroll through the site, which changes color to match what subway line you are looking at:
Bedford Avenue from the New York Train Project
Crown Heights
Brooklyn Borough Hall
