Overall, my map based on purely my memory of Harvard's campus depicted the relative locations of the different parts of campus (e.g. the Quad, the Yard, the SEAS area) accurately, but it was clear from the inaccuracies in the scaling, the location of…

My first impression was that after looking at a map, the scale of my drawing was a bit off. Some buildings were a bit larger in the sketch than they actually are (Harvard Coop). I think this reflects what locations I've been to most in the Square.…

In my sketch I realized the huge magnitude of the yard. The ins and outs that I normally walk through sorta paying attention. I remembered where things are that i usually never notice. The crowds of tourists and hungry patrons and where no one goes.…

campus. I realized that drawing the relative positions and paths connecting the buildings were the most
difficult component. I generally know the…

went into the exercise quite confident. After all, I don’t use a GPS to get to any destination between the Quad, athletic fields, HLS and the Square. In fact, I know many shortcuts and feel I give decent directions to the many tourists who ask for…

I sketched a few routes that I’ve recently walked, along with landmark buildings that come to mind when I think about neighboring areas. My path is in red, landmarks are blue, and I made the sketch on top of a horizontal black grid to organize my…

When drawing Harvard’s campus (from Quad to athletic facilities) from memory, I mapped out the common Harvard shuttle routes and differentiated the buildings from undergraduate living spaces, classrooms, and businesses. After looking at my colored…

After comparing my sketch to the Google Maps representation of Harvard Square, I realized that my perception of urban spaces is shaped heavily by the amount of time I spend in certain places. As an upperclassman, I spend most of my time in the houses…
