3D Maps??

I stumbled across these and thought they were really cool...http://observersroom.designobserver.com/marklamster/entry.html?entry=21968
They are three-dimensional build plans for lower Manhattan...extremely complex yet so simplistic in materials, and so precise. I definately like them and want to explore this direction further...however I still don't know what exactly I would want to represent in this manner..or in any type of mapping. I feel like the topic posibilities are endless.

I also came across the classic Subway map...which ofcourse is an approach completely different than any of my previous findings. I love the use of line, and color and repetition. It's both functional and visually draws you in... here's some more subway maps from other global locations
London Underground
Mexico City

Seol Subway Map
Tokyo Subway Map
