Regular maps of Paris’ large, incredibly intricate subway system can get overwhelming to look at very fast, but a gorgeous, interactive website makes it much easier on your eyes by rendering those maps through stunning 3-D graphics and commuting stats.

Grand Central Terminal is 100 years old

jkottke:

To celebrate Grand Central’s 100th birthday, The Daily Beast has 100 facts about the NYC landmark.

1. Grand Central Terminal opened its doors at midnight on February 2, 1913.

9. To commemorate the centennial on Friday, shops and eateries will price their goods as if it were 1913. [Ed note: I doubt this applies to the Apple Store.]

39. A secret trap door in the kiosk below the clock leads to a spiral staircase down to the lower level info booth.

50. M42 connects to a secret underground platform at the Waldorf Astoria.

93. In 1978’s Superman, Lex Luther’s lair is located under the terminal.

mobylosangelesarchitecture:

if someone put a gun to my head and said ‘pick your favorite architect from the 20th century’ i would probably pick eero saarinen. which is not to malign any of the other remarkable 20th century architects.  but i’ve always loved eero saarinen.

one of my favorite things about flying in and out of d.c is being able to see dulles airport, which was designed by eero saarinen in the late 50’s.

so, as i was rushing to get to my flight on sunday (unfortunately i had to leave d.c early)i  stopped to take some pictures of what might be the world’s second most beautiful airport (the first would be eero saarinen’s twa terminal at jfk, or so i believe).

so here are a few pictures of the world’s most beautiful airport as designed by my favorite 20th century architect.

thanks,

moby

Super cute stocking stuffer idea from the people at Spacing.ca - magnets that you can arrange to form your own utopian transit system on the door of your fridge. It’s gotta be better than those do it yourself modern poetry magnets…

The red structure is the remains of the original Greathead shield used to tunnel the Waterloo & City. It was left in place in 1898 and rediscovered in 1987. #tubegeek (Taken with Instagram at Bank Station)

‘Tottenham Court Road - Northern Line Platforms - Reopened!

Video has extraordinary behind-the-scenes footage of the work which took place at the station as the Northern line kept running - saving a lot more hassle.
