I’m working on an article about Digital Urban run by Andrew Hudson-Smith at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London and I am in love with this image they created as part of the 3D London Underground map. For Hudson-Smith it “led to a new look at iconic images to communicate locational and spatial data.” For me, it is a fabulous pastiche of the 1930s original, pre-Nolli maps, and those great Americana road maps where landmarks are interconnected by freeways. (See Nick Paumgarten's piece from last year, Annals of the Road, in the New Yorker.)
