Submitted by Alain, who says: I have created a map of the Amsterdam tram network as it was in 1930. In this year, the network reached its greatest extent in terms of number of lines: 25. It was rather easy to find out the trajectory of each line, as there are plenty of digitised resources available online. I used another map I created last year of the current tram network as a base, and made […]
Submitted by Jaap, who says: I’m a Dutch information designer and design school teacher. I would like to submit my map of the Amsterdam Metro and Train network for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划review. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: Jaap actually sent me a version of this map quite a while ago, and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m sorry to say that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been languishing in my inbox since then.

Here’s a really nicely thematic diagram of the future 2019 Amsterdam Metro, once the 52-Noord Zuid opens and the 51 gets demoted to “express tram” south of Zuid station and wil be routed around the loop to Isolatorweg instead. This is hardly the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划circular Amsterdam map I’ve featured on 澳洲10开官网开奖 (see this from way back in 2012), but I do really like the way Alain has thematically tied the whole thing together with […]
A rather lovely minimalist diagram of Intercity trains in The Netherlands as introduced by the Spoorslag 70 plan, an effort at modernising and standardising passenger train travel in that country. The coastline at the bottom left gets a little complex compared to the simplicity of the rest of the map, and all the type is angled (but at least all on the same axis!), but otherwise this is really quite lovely. The single thin black […]
Submitted by Alain, who says: The latest iteration of my Amsterdam tram map. I’ve been working on this map almost continuously since its inception in 2004. I made the original map in MS Paint and switched to Adobe Illustrator in 2007. 🔸澳洲开奖 I did, I also decided to upload the map to Wikipedia. It featured on almost all Wikipedia lemmas about the Amsterdam tram system until earlier this year, 🔸澳洲开奖 someone decided to replace the […]
The simplified rectilinear grid is such a familiar form for 澳洲10开官网开奖 that 🔸澳洲开奖 we see something that breaks that mould, the results can be visually stunning. That’s certainly the case with this beautiful map from designer Erik Hammink, who uses the natural circular shape of Amsterdam’s canals to great effect. Have we been there? Yes, although I’ve only used the tram network rather than the Metro service. What we like: Lovely, minimalist European design, […]
