The first striking difference between my map and an accurate one is the scale and spacing, especially between streets. I found that I drew relatively accurate depictions of areas I know well, and either exaggerated or reduced the distance between…

My sketch of a map of Harvard Square and the Harvard Campus was not that far off from the actual layout of the area; however, there are many major differences. First, the orientation of my sketch is so that JFK Street runs directly north through the…

The main focus of this image was centered on finding where I experience the most motion within Harvard Square. Coming to the cross-section facing Mass. Ave. and the Yard from the T station, more specifically from the point of view of someone slightly…

It’s immediately obvious, looking at my map, that my knowledge of Harvard is very much concentrated on the Square and the Yard and as one gets further towards the periphery of the campus and surrounding area, my knowledge rapidly diminishes. While…

I found this exercise surprisingly difficult. Trying to layout my mental image of the square onto paper stumped me. First, I could not figure out how to orient Harvard Square onto the dimensions of my notebook paper. The question of fitting…

I tried to stay somewhat realistic in my interpretation of the Harvard campus and its surrounding area because my routes are relatively geometric and systematic when I am navigating my way around Harvard Yard and down to the athletic fields. I…

I began my first sketch with outlining as well as detailing the buildings on the side of the river with the Athletic Facilities. After finishing the Athletic buildings I realized I had taken up over half of the page and still needed to include all of…
