SUMMARY:Design in Transit:  How City Subways Reveal Urban Identity
DESCRIPTION:Join author David Seltzer as he discusses how the world's subway systems reveal the culture\, history\, and identity of the cities they serve.\n\n\nOn August 12th\, David Seltzer will join DAG for a presentation based on his book\,Transit Tourism: The Iconic Art and Design of 22 Subways Around the World\, released in 2025 by Schiffer Publishing. Transit Tourism consists of travel essays and images on the art\, architecture and design of 22 subway systems located in 18 countries\, giving an underground perspective on the unique character of each of these cities. The premise of the book is that the visual culture of each subway\, metro\, tube or u-bahn—its architecture\, art installations\, vehicles\, map\, logo\, wayfinding\, and even typeface—reflects the distinct personality of the city it serves. \nViewing these systems through the design lens of a “transit tourist\,” one appreciates that subways are not just a means of transport—they are an indelible part of a city’s DNA\, and to understand a city\, you really need to understand its subway. \n \nThis event will be held at the new Village of Industry & Art at 320 S. Broad Street. \nRegistration is not required for in-person events\, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served. \n \nFor more info\, please CLICK HERE!
