Although I’m biased, after comparing my map to a Google Maps image of the area, I would say my illustration was decently accurate. I have accounted relatively well for the positions of Harvard Yard relative to the law school, as well as the…

For this sketch exercise I mapped out a very small part of campus that is mostly centered around the portion of Cambridge where I find myself walking often when not in class. This is the region where JFK Street meets Memorial Drive near the Charles…

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…

With this drawing, I was interested in how students move throughout an urban system of which their university is a part. I tried to depict from personal experience and observation of others, how students tend to interact with public vs. private…

As a senior, I expected this sketchbook assignment to be relatively straightforward: a mapping of an area I feel relatively comfortable with. However, this sketchbook assignment really tested my knowledge of the Harvard Square area and helped me…

This assignment turned out to be much more difficult than I anticipated. I started by sketching the yard, but quickly found the both the river and the Quad were too far away for me to accurately render. Eventually I figured that drawing the map…

Upon comparing my sketch with the official campus map, I was pleasantly surprised by its (relative) accuracy - perhaps a sign that, as a senior, I've been around here too long. There are a few things, however, that I noted based on my sketch. One is…
