My sketch focuses on providing functional information to the viewers as I believe the essence of urban design is to serve diverse needs of the population. To highlight this idea, I specifically marked commercial stores and building functions around the yard area so that viewers have a straightforward sense of what we can do in this area. Then, I also provided information on metro/shuttle/bicycle stops, road directions and traffic lights. Transportation not only links the functional architectures, itself is also a "moving space" in which viewers experience architectures from different angles/aspects externally, then in return the experience stimulates viewers' immersion into their own world internally during the commute. I lastly marked the densely populated areas. I hope to ask viewers if Harvard's design of combining residential, leisure and academic buildings make sense.
