阿里斯•凡尼提基迪斯:  讓地圖能被看懂

地圖設計師阿里斯•凡尼提基迪斯（Aris Venetikidis）對於人們在城市裡移動時, 腦袋裡繪製的地圖非常著迷。這些圖比較不像實際的街道圖, 反而比較像示意圖或是連線圖, 呈現地點間的相互關係的抽象圖像。我們如何從這樣的腦袋裡的地圖學習如何畫出真的好理解的地圖呢?  透過一個實驗案例，他重新繪製了惡名昭彰的都柏林公共交通地圖。 （拍攝於TEDxDublin）

People instinctively create mental maps that use straight lines, symbols, and emotional landmarks to make sense of complex urban environments. These internal diagrams look more like schematics than street maps, and they simplify reality to help us find our way. When public transport maps mimic these cognitive shortcuts, like the London Underground map famously did, they become far easier to use. A reimagined Dublin bus map, for example, revealed how a visually simplified network can illuminate city structure and improve understanding.
