Sepia FanRevolutionäres Design für die U-Bahn der Metropole #London
U-Bahnen sind ein Gewirr aus Röhren u. Stationen unter der Erde. Der Engländer Harry Beck war der erste, der es übersichtlich gestaltet hat. Seine Londoner Tube Map hat Design-Geschichte geschrieben. Vor 50 Jahren ist er gestorben.
Zu Lebzeiten wurde ihm Anerkennung für seine Leistung verwehrt. Erst ab Ende der 1990er Jahre wird er gewürdigt und steht seit 2013 auf den U-Bahn-Plänen.

Stephen CookMany people will know and love the style of metro maps pioneered by Harry Beck for London Underground. Variants of this approach have been used for every kind of network from bus routes to Roman roads.
Helen Ilus has adapted the Beck style to produce beautiful maps of walking networks for several UK cities, including #London, #Bristol, and #Edinburgh.

What went wrong with the Tube Map?
Chris LimbI know I said it before but think it's worth reiterating - in my opinion the London Tube map peaked at this point (1979).
All subsequent additions look like someone scrawling tags over the top of a beautiful piece of street art. #HarryBeck
