The New York Subway Map Debate documents a pivotal event in design
history: the 1978 debate between designer Massimo Vignelli and
cartographer John Tauranac over the future of the NYC Subway Map.
The book features the full transcript and discussions that followed
(made possible by the recent discovery of a lost audio tape of the
event) along with never-before-seen photographs of the evening by
Stan Ries. The New York Subway Map Debate opens a hyper-specific
window into a moment in New York design history and the eternal
battle between form and content. Edited by filmmaker and design
historian Gary Hustwit, with a foreword by designer Paula Scher.
