Seoul City Metro Map
Concept
You usually meet a metro map designed with one layer.
However, metros are a wide range of 3D spaces built underground.
I redesigned one layer into several layers.
Also, I tried to make augmented reality byutilizing
Adobe Dimension and Aero.
Result
I could get visual freshness on a three-dimensional reconstructed metro line.
It was also confirmed that AR/VR/XR could be a useful way of delivering information in a society where contents are central.
Design process
This was a personal design project. And most of the process relied on my imagination.
-
Collects data on the current metro map
-
Field research
-
Rough sketch with paper and pencil

Wireframe / Design
Wireframes
I like services that have a definite purpose.
So it’s made up of minimal functions.
And I used the simplest shapes to proceed with the wire frame.
Design system
There are very many metro lines in Seoul City.
As a design, the focus was on clearly distinguishing between routes, stations and transit stations.
Minimized modelling elements can guide the route more clearly.
24
Lines
24 different lines were
visualized in color.
728
Staions
Arranged 728 metro stations.
102
Transfer Stations
Clarified 102 transferable
Metro stations
Metro Map
The metro map with the concept of layer is similar but different from what we know before.
If you are familiar with flat-panel subway lines, you may feel unfamiliar.
But it’s important that it’s the same way we actually use it.
