NYC-based architect Candy Chan has designed a series of X-Ray subway maps that not only give you a sense of the streets and buildings above, but of the actual layouts of the stations themselves.
If you’ve ever tried to navigate New York’s dizzying underground, map designs like these would be a welcome addition at any station. The maps are part of an ongoing exploration by Chan called Project Subway NYC, and include a collection of sketches, photographs and architectural drawings that try to make sense of ‘everything between the streets and the trains’.
