Station Murals and Signs
Lexington Avenue at 53rd Street
New York, NY
To clearly mark this bustling transfer point between two major subway lines, Chermayeff & Geismar created a wayfinding scheme that ingeniousely follows the circular lines of the station itself to make directional information clearly visible.
Bold forms, color, and oversize standard MTA graphics, help guide passengers, while wall panels reinforce the circular pathway.
