そして僕が先学期したプレゼンテーション、
機能と外見の関係性について触れる際、引用した事例。
ご存知、電子回路の設計者でもあったハリーベックのデザインした
ロンドンのチューブマップ。機能的な美しさ。
ちなみに、簡単にプレゼンした内容を紹介すると、
美しさは機能に追従するという考え方を否定するもので、
「美しさ」という変数もまた機能のひとつとして捕らえた時に、
その機能がもつ価値の可変性という性質を
さまざまなデザインの歴史を追って紹介するというものでした。

Beck’s maps
> The first diagrammatic map of the Underground was
> designed by Harry Beck in 1933.
> Beck was an Underground employee who realised that,
> because the railway ran mostly underground,
> the physical locations of the stations were irrelevant to the traveller wanting
> to know how to get to one station from another —
> only the topology of the railway mattered.
> This approach is similar to that of electrical circuit diagrams;
> while these were not the inspiration for Beck’s diagram,
> his colleagues pointed out the similarities
> and he once produced a joke map with the stations replaced by electrical-
> circuit symbols and names with terminology,
> such as “bakelite” for “Bakerloo”.
> In fact, Beck based his diagram on a similar mapping system
> for underground sewage systems.[citation needed]
> To this end, he devised a vastly simplified map,
> consisting of stations, straight line segments connecting them,
> and the Thames; lines ran only vertically, horizontally,
> or at 45 degrees. To make the map clearer and to emphasise connections,
> Beck differentiated between ordinary stations (marked with tick marks)
> and interchanges (marked with diamonds).
> The Underground was initially sceptical of his proposal —
> it was an uncommissioned spare-time project,
> and it tentatively introduced it to the public in a small pamphlet.
> It was immediately popular, and ever since the Underground
> has used topological maps to illustrate the network.
