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…

I think that, just from looking at this sketch, it would be pretty obvious to any Harvard student where I live, at least to an extent. I began my sketch starting with my house, Dunster, in the bottom right corner, and planned to work northwest-ward…

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 includes a map of the Undergraduate campus at Harvard University, noting major roads and sidewalks that travel throughout the campus. An important note about my sketch is that it does not include all sidewalks, but rather the most congested…

Urban design still remains a foreign concept: space, dimensions, structure can easily clutter the mind when drawing our fondest roads from memory. Despite the initial hesitation and frequent erasure marks, I believe the product that came out captured…
