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…

After having finished my sketch, I compared what I drew with some of the Google map renderings and realized a significant difference. Where I decided to notate things so that it was easier for me to draw, google maps shows much more detail. However,…

I found this exercise surprisingly difficult. Trying to layout my mental image of the square onto paper stumped me. First, I could not figure out how to orient Harvard Square onto the dimensions of my notebook paper. The question of fitting…

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…

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…

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…

Sketch 1 Kevin Servellon I definitely cut some space between the Quad and Yard, and then I made the area below the the yard too big. It is obvious that I don’t pay attention when I am on the shuttle because I missed a significant portion between the…

In this amateurish mental map which I have devised solely using my memory, and images that come to my mind when I think of the places around Harvard Square; depicts a path I take quite oftenly, the path that leads from my apartment to the river side.…

In this map of Harvard Yard and Harvard Square, I tried to first lay out an accurate scaling of the distance between major landmarks, but also to feature barriers or landmarks that are not entirely ADA compliant. My sister uses a wheelchair, and on…
