Title A name given to the resource Madeleine Ankhelyi Description An account of the resource The experience of drawing something by memory was incredibly fun. I realized as soon as I began my drawing what areas of the square mattered most to me by how well I remembered them. I'm an athlete concentrating in biology who lives in Dunster. While my drawing doesn't include most of the academic buildings of Harvard that I frequent, it does feature the athletic facilities and Dunster House prominently. The river stands out to me because of my many runs along it. Road traffic is also a large feature of my drawing, probably because I notice it in my daily life-- a lot of the time spent walking around the square is spent simply dodging cars. All in all, I definitely misplaced some street and buildings, and left out things like foot traffic, or tother higher details, but I think that this drawing is a fairly good representation of the square as it exists in my head. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/9f26f14bc80a01b013531b721f07e552.jpg 047cd0a176e7ea15d248e890905438dd Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource Now comparing my sketch to an online map, I think I did well in my sense of direction and orientation of Harvard Square—the general layout of important landscapes such as the River, the Quad, the Yard, the commercial Harvard Square and the Graduate Schools seem to be roughly in line. It was clear to me making the sketch however that I am much better at remembering the specific details of Harvard areas that I am most familiar with (e.g. a parking lot, the shape of a courtyard, the presence of a little park). Living in Eliot House, my knowledge of the West River and other undergraduate hotspots seems to be much more accurate than my understanding of the specific building orientation of the Law School, or of the Cambridge residential areas West of the Square. I tried my best to incorporate as much information into this sketch (outlined in my key) as possible, without sacrificing the clarity of my sketch or bombarding the viewer. The biggest challenge for me was making sure that the frame of the sketch fit in the Quad, without skewing my general proportions. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed making the sketch and challenging myself to remember a neighbourhood I thought I was so familiar with.

Title A name given to the resource Alex Afeyan Description An account of the resource My map is quite accurate with regards to the buildings of the Yard, and relatively accurate with respect to the river house area of campus. However, it fell fall short of proportions on the location of the Quad. I was not familiar with the path to the Quad, as I do not spend a lot of time there. In addition, there were many paths in the Yard that I was not familiar with, as they are relatively randomly laid out. The shapes of the common spaces and houses by the river were also not clear in my memory, so I had to guess about a few of them. There was a large area West of the Yard the shape of which I had no idea, but none of it is part of the campus proper. Finally, the campus of the Law School and the Science Labs extends far North of where I drew, but I have not interacted with that part of campus yet. I am very familiar with the shape of the river and the bridges of the river because I have rowed on it, which helped me draw that part of campus. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/77e0d869a22d6a7d920c50463f391d54.JPG 0cc81c690ecda8c93bd596905024c963 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/ae626ff28287c3e097111cdee33fa54c.JPG d60fa15f3caa93bab02f5a859cef6139 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/d0dd355aa60dcc0ba33e49c83ef81da7.JPG 86c1696f0c7df2cb62f74cebb2cd8d66 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Christopher Chen Description An account of the resource Christopher Chen The most difficult and different part of the sketch was getting the physical shapes, sizes, and relative orientations of the map features correctly. For example, most of the buildings are actually smaller than I expected. I am pretty proud of my map, in that I think it is pretty accurate. My perceptions of size and my memory make the two maps differently, suggesting I use and remember different features of the city than a camera would photograph. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/29bad52b8116b6178b1f131c66ff187a.jpg 8b8afad48858273209880c77ddb2e067 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Bo Choi Description An account of the resource My map was focused on me and therefore decent for the paths I take most frequently—upperclassmen houses, buildings I have classes in, and stores and restaurants that I visit. I also included certain markers that I use. For instance, on my way to the Quad, I know I’m almost there when I see the second Longy Music School building, but I don’t pay attention to whatever is in between. Similarly, I see Boston only in terms of the buildings and roads that I am familiar with. Additionally, I realized that I drew almost all buildings as rectangles, because I never thought about what they looked like from above. This may suggest that I relate to places and buildings in a city for their functions rather than their architecture. I also noticed that I prioritized fitting everything in rather than geographical accuracy. As a Harvard Band member, I play at hockey, basketball, and football games, but I realized, I had no idea how big the buildings were, just their relative placement. Quincy house, for instance, became over-elongated because in my head it went two blocks, so that took precedent over its realistic size. Even though I know the streets, I don’t really have a sense of size when thinking about a city. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/02d1f48875252d1295033069fd352cb8.jpg 78dcbe2b9bf8454d1e785d15157e0041 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Olivia Chung Description An account of the resource The general layout of the map I drew is very similar to the official university map, with buildings appropriately located relative to each other. The level of detail for different areas are very apparent though. The areas with the greatest detail include the cluster of River Houses and Harvard Yard. However, most of Harvard Square, the Business School, the Athletic fields, the area up to and including the Quad and east of the River House boundaries have significantly less detail. This difference can very likely be attributed to the way that I use the space. Because I do not visit these areas as regularly, my memory of them are evidently vague. On the other hand, the River Houses and Harvard Yard, which I walk through daily, are drawn with greater detail and accuracy. These differences suggest that how people use and relate to the city are acutely individualized. If I lived in the Quad and was an athlete, my vision of Harvard would be uniquely different. What I notice and not notice and even what I choose to include and not include uniquely represent my experience. With a city being used by a multitude of people in several different ways, designing spaces that consider as diverse perspectives and functions can be critical to creating a space that will be well-remembered by all. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/ebf58cd6cd68841d99475efb50d578ca.JPG d023701fd6fd76016d525ec9a0eb881d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Katie Cronin Description An account of the resource I am very surprised by how difficult it was for me to do this sketch. I have always had a terrible sense of direction and no artistic ability, but I have now realized how terrible my memory is as well. I could not remember any street names or true orientations. I have certainly forgotten entire streets that I only wander down occasionally, and things are definitely not drawn to scale. I was afraid to make any truly inerasable marks on the page because I was so unsure of the placement of all of the buildings, so the diagram comes across as light and hesitant. My map is an extremely inaccurate birds eye view of the city. I think this is because I often take the shuttle from place to place, and as a result I only know destinations rather than the streets I take to get there. I definitely only remembered landmarks that I visit often, and that are relevant to me in my everyday life like The Crimson, Starbucks and HAS. Additionally, I include almost exclusively public spaces because I don’t think of my private spaces as places that belong on a geographical map. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/6f92eb67f97bb5df21a27b2fe83769b6.jpg 52c39f67a46eefc4bd4343361b938e35 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/9d316d3ef0b7148d4fe9c91d6676cd7a.jpg 63a6f261c8f4d65ae930c68460cb4f1d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Ingrid Goetz Description An account of the resource My ability to reproduce Harvard Square from memory was greatly shaped by my limited area of daily access. I live in Dunster House, which is on the eastern-most side of campus and all my classes are on Quincy Street. I rarely head north or west, even into the Yard—which also limits my awareness of how other people use those spaces. My process was to sketch from the bottom-right of my page (the south-east corner of campus) from what I knew best to what I knew least. Errors definitely compounded and I was fairly aware that I was choosing between correct orientation and scale. Scale was really difficult to keep constant as well. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/2f46193e351d998856886877347d5595.JPG 567280d9cd608a4b960b2c846cc6b7a6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Ryan Halvorson Description An account of the resource My map of Cambridge expectedly captures the area from my unique point of view—specifically from that of a senior undergraduate football playing engineer who lives in a river house. Each of these qualities biases my perception and recall of my surroundings. The areas in my map with the most accurate detail are those that I visit most frequently: the paths between Mather and the science buildings, the athletic complex in Allston, the buildings around the yard (freshman dorms, Sever, etc.), and the various eating establishments and landmarks that I frequent along the river (area by Felipe’s and Chipotle, Hair Cuttery, etc.). On the contrary, the areas with the least amount of detail are those that I rarely interact with: various roads are missing or inaccurate (I have never driven a car in Cambridge), the land between the Yard and the Quad is almost entirely unknown, many non-university associated buildings were hazy, and many of the graduate school buildings are misplaced or absent. In general, my map features many block shapes and straight lines—quite the opposite of many parts of Cambridge in reality. I think this phenomenon can be explained by how I think about and use most parts of the city. Probably 80% of my time at Harvard has been spent in the same 20% of buildings. On the other hand, I have visited the other 80% of buildings on the map 1 time or fewer. Instead, I walk past them on my way to other things. In writing the map, I thought about these experiences, noting what landmarks and buildings I pass heading from one space to another. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/eb5baf9e6a8ebbc5d389472622b8ac8b.jpg edc3497c08259dd79feb2a4e33490678 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Eliot Harrison Description An account of the resource In my map of Harvard, I prioritised the spaces that I interact with. I largely ignored places across the river, in the quad, or beyond the Science Center, because I rarely venture to those areas of the campus. I live in Eliot House. I started my sketch at this intersection between the river and JFK Street which leads up to the Square and the Yard. Sketching showed me that everything—campus, shops, streets—are crammed into a dense area. However, shops are clearly delineated from campus. While the buildings are physically close together, the stores in Harvard Square occupy an entirely different world than the college. This includes residential Houses. As a result, an urban campus exists without being hectically intertwined with the city around it. Doing my sketch, I think I did a pretty good job at mapping the streets, as they follow a loose grid. Towards the edge of campus, I found that I didn’t know what to draw next because, as I wrote earlier, there are places that I just don’t go. I tried to draw pedestrian traffic in blue pen as a nebulous, sprawling mess. I thought about where I walk on any normal day and thought about how many people I might see around me at those times.
