For my map, I decided to focus on Harvard as not simply a campus, but rather as a community. I attempted to do this by depicting the various populations that are represented at Harvard: not just the students, faculty, and other Harvard affiliates,…

I'm generally happy with the final product, but here're some difference I noticed with the real map: 1. I misrepresented the triangle area around Cambridge common. With that, the size of science center and law school are both very off. 2. I missed…

This assignment has illuminated that it’s easy for me to clearly picture small segments of the square, but it’s difficult for me to put it all together into one cohesive unit. The largest difference between my map and reality is how the CGIS and GSD…

In my sketch, I drew Harvard Yard and its surrounding areas with symbols and colors representing student housing, class or study spaces, tourist gathering areas, student gathering areas, and paths that students use to go from place to place. My map…

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…

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…

It was most difficult to sketch the scale of the campus, because I conceive of the campus as a
series of discrete, interconnected areas rather than conceiving it continuously (cf the Situationist ‘map’).
I found it interesting that there is a sort…

My first impression was that after looking at a map, the scale of my drawing was a bit off. Some buildings were a bit larger in the sketch than they actually are (Harvard Coop). I think this reflects what locations I've been to most in the Square.…

Sitting in the Starbucks at the corner of Mass Ave. and JFK feels like being in the center of the world. You are the axis around which activity turns. I chose this view as the vantage point for my map because it captures the buzz I associate with…

For my sketch, I followed ChengHe’s advice and focused on the areas that are most meaningful to me on campus—these also happen to be the areas that I spend the most time in at Harvard. Most notable, although not central in my sketch, is my home away…
