| Abstract |
| Advancement of public transportation and design of route map does not exist without necessarily. As challenging as new area, Henry Beck served 30 years for improvement of subway route map of London. Among them, his first design announced in 1933 was regarded as important instance of information design was reserved as history list till today. Contextual concept can be classified into 2 categories if dividing conceptual type (visual) and formal (non-visual) concept of Henry Beck`s subway routing map. In the first, he concentrated on linear and serial type style rather than geographical positioned centric existed routing map. He accomplished central complexity by enlarging and distorting the centric position approached by fisheye lens style. On survey of formal concept, we can say rule and coherence type based on grid system, low character of alphabets, the same distance among the station, diagonal line of 45 or vertical line of 90, horizontal line and rounded angle. We can see some information designers who can express effective design ways of various and complex information in the history. Roughly, they accomplished easy ways by diagramed and graph expression of concept of time and amount. As information designer, Henry Beck designed London subway routing map excellently the concept of space and time. The researcher has the aims on the improvement of Seoul subway routing map by studying the concept and design of Henry Beck`s London subway routing map and furthermore wishes the cornerstone of designing public traffic(subway, railway, bus, ship, airway etc) organization system of my country Korea. |
