+ Design in the Wild: User-updated map kiosk in Figueres, Spain

Co-creating maps in public spaces

I’m finally starting to get caught up after our trip to Barcelona last week. As a little teaser of the photos to come, I wanted to post this photo of a map kiosk I saw in center of Figueres, Spain when we went to check out the Dali Museum (Quick review: Really neat, totally unique, museum. Unfortunately they don’t throttle the people they admit into the space at one time so it was a total mob scene).

I love how someone Sharpied in some streets that the map designers neglected making the map more useful for everyone.

Update: My buddy Eduardo (who actually reads Spanish) cued me into the following:

Come to think of it, I’m sort of ashamed I didn’t pick up on “C / Putas“. Anyway, let’s all think about how great it would have been if someone took the time to update an out-of-date public kiosk.
