Rivers Drawn Like Subway Maps

As an urbanite whose primary source of transportation is the subway, I really love these maps of rivers by cartographer Daniel Huffman that are drawn to look like subway maps (for those of you not familiar with subway maps, take a look at this map of the NYC subway system). If you want to see more of Daniel’s river maps check out somethingaboutmaps.

X-Men Family Tree

This infographic by Joe Stone outlines all the mating and dating habits of the various characters in X-Men. I’ll be honest, I probably fall into the “confused category” but I still think this is pretty cool. Check out the full size image to get a better look at this mutant family tree.

Light Wall

UK-based design firm acrylicize created this great light-based installation to spice up the lobby of Engine’s headquarters in London. The wall is made up of a mosaic of protruding acrylic boxes that are fitted with color changing lights. Definitely one of the coolest lobbies I’ve ever come across! Check out the video at the end of this post to see the Light Wall in its full glory.

Reorganized Cities

French artist Armelle Caron takes maps of cities and reorganizes the individual blocks into ordered rows. The process transforms a chaotic city into a unrecognizable, but systematic assemblage of shapes. I’ll be honest, the sizes of the images below don’t do the designs justice. Check out Armelle’s website to see larger versions of even more cities, or click on the city names below to see the full size images.
