Taipei Metro Map Re-designed for Social Design Exhibition

Life is closely connected to the metro map. When we follow metro routes above ground and underground, we also pass the seen and unseen faces of the city. The stations are points connected by lines, and views along the way are planes captured by our eyes; every journey is a three-dimensional experience in a space constructed by points, lines and planes. The places we pass by and the views we see may seem common, but if we observe closely, the nuanced differences will leave unique impressions in our heads.

In addition to improving the aesthetics and functions of Taipei Metro map, we hope this re-designed version can also remind users to look at the world around them whenever they can; no more phubbing!
