I have been on campus for over a year and a half and am confident with my sense of the layout of the main streets and side streets. These are relatively accurate in my sketch. What is different is the structure of the buildings. I do not necessarily…

As it turns out, my map is pretty inaccurate, but the relative location of each school is more or less correct. The most obvious inaccuracy is in the intricacies of all of the roads that connect Harvard Square. The most accurate part of my map with…

Comparing my map to Google maps, my map is somewhat more accurate than I initially expected. The buildings I inhabit and use more frequently I was able to more accurately represent. Buildings such as Leverett House, the Lampoon castle, the Carpenter…

This drawing was heavily dependent on my personal exposure and time spent in each part of the Harvard
campus. I realized that drawing the relative positions and paths connecting the buildings were the most
difficult component. I generally know the…
