I sought to recreate my culinary experience in the Harvard Square area in this map. The eateries are colour coded with green being my strongest recommendation and red being my weakest, while orange is in between. I noticed that I often clustered the…

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…

One of the most interesting aspects that I observed when I visited Copley place, prudential center and Newbury Street is the spectrum of the buildings interaction with the outside world. Newbury Street was the center with the most interaction with…

The path I choose to draw is the path or two points that I have spent most of my time in. Since I am studying Engineering I tend to spend most of my time around Maxwell Dworkin. As I was trying to picture my usual path I only really remember my…

I’d say my map is fairly accurate, though not at all to scale. The areas of Harvard Square that I know well are quite detailed; I found while doing the assignment that I know almost every building in the four square blocks between the yard and the…

The most notable difference between the actual plan of Harvard square (from the quad to the athletic fields) and my drawing was the overall shape of it. While on the small scale many of my areas were fairly accurate in terms of shape and size, overall…
