This assignment was very interesting in that it allowed me to assess my ability to concretely depict my mental representation of my surroundings. I began this exercise by visualizing my everyday route across campus from my dorm near the Charles…

My experience of mapping Harvard Square from memory was a frustrating one. It is one thing to know where two buildings are in relation to one another; it is quite another to know where those two buildings are in relation to a network of streets,…

The most significant insight that arises from my map is that the image of one’s world can be collapsed into the places he or she frequents.

Sketch 1 Kevin Servellon I definitely cut some space between the Quad and Yard, and then I made the area below the the yard too big. It is obvious that I don’t pay attention when I am on the shuttle because I missed a significant portion between the…
