Title A name given to the resource Spencer York Description An account of the resource Copley Place/Prudential Center Malls I think that the physical space and shape of the connecting malls makes the area seem much larger than it actually may be. This is because it is largely just one long hallway that connects through three buildings. Although the space is not necessarily wide, it is long and tall and therefore gives the perception of a much larger building. This also has to do with the connectivity of the buildings through the pedestrian bridges. The buildings seem to be one rather than separated because you do not have to walk in and out to get from one to the other. However, the entrances and exits to these bridges emulate those of exits to buildings in the sense that they are nearly entirely revolving doors, something very common these days at the entrances/exits of buildings. Another thing that I noticed is that the space is not very handicap accessible. There are lots of little stairs to get from one place to another, escalators, and other handicap challenging obstacles. Other than that, the space is quite open and inviting. The use of tile and limestone as well as bright colors initials a comfortable, pleasant feel of luxury as you make your way past endless designer stores. The long hallways that make up these malls are broken up into smaller sections by larger spaces often shaped as geometrical hexagons. These spaces serve as sitting areas, places for kiosks, food, and other things in order to make you feel like the space is in fact not one large, never ending hallway. Newbury Street There are several aspects of Newbury Street that reveal it as a commercial space, other than the simple fact that the street is lined with commercial retailers. The first I would say is the number of cars that are parked along the street at any given time and the number of people walking around that goes hand and hand with the cars. The large number of cars tells you that this is not a residential area because it is simply too busy to be one. Large numbers of people do not go and hang out in a living community, the hang out where there is fun to be had through a wide variety of things. Another way the area screams commercial is the width of the streets. The wide streets are there to serve the flow of large crowds, something not found in residential areas because there is no need for them. Another aspect is the vast number of small restaurants that line the street with their outdoor, hangout-vibe seating. These restaurants allow people to spend more time shopping without leaving the area to search for meals, increasing the flow of people per day. None of these are unique aspects to have, however. Copley Place/Prudential Center Malls had nearly all of the same characteristics, but the fact the Newbury is located outside sheds the feel of your average mall. Compared to the mall, the entrances/exits to Newbury are very open, as should be expected. There are no restrictions on who can enter or exit and enjoy what the street has to offer. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/11bcb89b66d095f074903503221bbc35.jpg a27d8678e8066b65b8bca0de1fcdd293 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 Stephanie Manivanh Description An account of the resource My map is a pretty accurate top-view rendition of how the Harvard Square area actually looks like. The places that I’m most inaccurate in drawing are places that I rarely visit (business school and the athletic fields, parts of the quad). I think the fact that my map is so accurate in naming streets is because I bike literally everywhere (in red I’ve marked all the bike parking areas I can think of) so I refer to Google Maps a lot. I’ve also been in Boston for three summers straight so I’ve had a lot of time to explore Cambridge. I can see that I pay most attention to exactly how all the streets intersect and are organized. What helped me create this map was actually closing my eyes and visualizing my bike rides and walks around certain areas. Also, since I have a lot of friends who live in the area I am very familiar with the order of the streets leading to Central Square in particular. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/59531b5687003b0be76a298c211e2c45.jpg f249a117347cf0ab6e3b26105c6b9c36 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/8d38b2f66c80cefe4cb39f6f4a802763.jpg b074df1e72d68ca3d908426ad830f88c 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 Stephanie Manivanh Description An account of the resource The Prudential Shopping Mall was a very open-air atrium type of space with glass ceilings along the entirety of the mall’s length; this made the shopping experience feel very “open” and bright which I assume aids in helping customers spend more (haha). The materials in Copley were much more darker in color and more expensive-looking. This makes sense since Copley caters to a more high-end clientele. Along the Prudential near Barnes and Noble were a lot of small sitting nooks and windows that looked out into the courtyard whereas elsewhere in the malls there were no designated sitting areas. The security here was very strict in not letting people take pictures of the inside of the mall…(I got told off). Newbury Street is such an interesting mix of retail and residential. What I loved is that the first floors of each of the buildings was so tastefully transformed into residential units by the use of tall glass windows while the floors above were untouched. The biggest difference from a shopping mall is the fact that you feel like you are in a neighborhood rather than a specific shopping area which will clear out at night. It is clever that Newbury Street runs parallel to the Commonwealth green space; nature just around the corner at each street. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/28c82d65f45716ad3c393c41ea91c12f.pdf 59239662444475d1ce71b6c06153f16b 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 Stephanie Ying Description An account of the resource My sketch is a very geometrically organized sketch of Harvard’s campus, as I thought it would be mentally clearer to represent complex areas and buildings as squares or rectangles. Additionally, my map is focused on and generated through two main benchmarks: major Harvard buildings or landmarks and the streets that cut through the campus and more specifically their directionality. The first of the two is rather simple, as I spatially oriented Harvard landmarks as points of interest because they are structures that are most familiar and frequented for me. However, as I found it rather difficult to properly orient these landmarks, it was helpful to utilize the second benchmark. I visualized my common walks to each of the buildings and how the cars on that street move, which surprisingly helped me in orienting the landmarks in an effective way. As the streets in Cambridge are quite random and also one-way, each one is distinct and memorable in my mind, and I especially thought of which way I turn to see if there are cars before I cross the street to help me orient myself. Thus, overall I think my commute and what I visualize during these walks is what defines and stands out in my sketch. I also started my sketch in the landscape orientation but after trial and error realized that portrait was more suitable. After comparing my sketch to Google maps, my map was more or less accurate in terms of spatial orientation, which surprised me. Although I did make some errors in the directionality of my streets, I think the biggest error was in the placement of the streets themselves, which are extremely intricate and complex. The streets in my sketch were also much simpler than in reality, and I think this difference suggests that we view the city through a less complicated lens in terms of the streets themselves and how we navigate them. When we walk, we don’t think about how much the street curves or how many intersections it has in total. Instead, we are just trying to get to our destination, which is how I oriented my map when thinking about walking to each landmark. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/71cc4ae44de96e6918ec635b6ad43777.pdf ecfc1bd3bee0f781fe697e7dacef138e 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 Tania Fabo Description An account of the resource 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, but also the Cambridge community residents, the homeless population around Harvard, and the tourists. Harvard has effectively taken over the Square and surrounding areas, from the upperclassman houses all around, to the random affiliate buildings scattered about the Cambridge area. Thus, Harvard has also had to “deal” with the effect of taking over a space. After looking at the map, I believe that Harvard has struck a good balance between being an open campus and an academic institution. There are a number of spaces in which Harvard has allowed/welcomed the presence on non-Harvard affiliates, from the Science Center Plaza as a major tourist site, to the Smith Campus Center as a restaurant hub for local residents, and the Harvard student-run youth homeless shelter. But while Harvard students co-inhabit the space with Cambridge residents, the homeless, and tourists, there is still a degree of safety found in the Harvard-only spaces. Notice how the non-Harvard affiliates are always on the outskirts. Rarely inside any of the buildings, never inside the upperclassman house courtyards. This allows for what one might call “selective interaction”: we can acknowledge your presence when we want to, but at the end of the day, we will always have our own spaces to return to. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/b56d8140748c3ed0b5e0cd02633b016d.jpg f372361c62cc381a77c6fad46c5538a5 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 Tania Fabo Description An account of the resource The first thing that I noticed when I entered Copley Place was how expensive everything looked. From the tiling, to the gilded ceiling, and the expensive brand-name stores that I had always associated with affluence (Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Armani, etc.), I felt immediately out of place. And I looked out of place, as the man standing outside of one of the stores who forgot to ask me—and only me—if I wanted a free sample, could probably tell. The Prudential Center, however, was a stark difference. I found myself surrounded by stores that I could see myself, a not-very-well-off college student, shopping at. The atmosphere was more familiar, and it reminded me a lot more of the shopping mall I visited at home. There was a greater diversity of people: not just the old white people I found myself surrounded by at Copley, but diversity in race and age. While there is no literal barrier between Copley Place and the Prudential Center, there seems to be an unspoken agreement about who has access to what spaces. Money acts as the barrier between the two very different worlds, and this is what I wanted to highlight in my sketch. On Newbury Street, I found some similarity to Prudential Center in terms of monetary accessibility and diversity of populations. However, Newbury Street is not a shopping mall, but rather a street in the heart of Boston, and the architecture reflects this, with the stores woven into housing complexes and residential areas. Given that it is a residential area, I noticed a greater variety of stores on the street in comparison to either of the malls: more restaurants, creative/community spaces, self-care places, etc. This difference of Newbury Street as a residential area and community, rather than simply a shopping area, is reflected in my sketch. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/927b25ecf3ddfc8c9e0b7a298451cfa8.pdf 115586571fb2e1890e322e8c866b9957 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 Tanner McColl Description An account of the resource I feel my memory map of Harvard University (stretching from the athletic facilities to the Quad) is actually fairly accurate as (for the record) I did almost this exact same assignment for a class I took first semester called Primitive Navigation. In that assignment, we first drew a memory map of Harvard’s campus and then walked to physically map it through a kind of combination of route and survey knowledge of the roads, buildings, and other landmarks. I feel I particularly captured the curve of the Charles River, the position of the River Houses along this curve, and the layout of the multitude of freshmen dorms and facilities within Harvard Yard. My memory map, however, falls apart perhaps in terms of scale and where the roads meet. I am quite used to the layout and order of the buildings of Harvard’s campus and the square, but I do not quite understand the curves and routes of the roads amongst these buildings. As such, the roads on my map are not quite correct, and many of them are too close together (especially Brattle and Church Street) leaving not enough room for the buildings that occupy the space between them. This, of course, may be due to the fact that I do not travel those roads much, similar to how I rarely travel to Radcliffe, Harvard Business School, the SEAS area, and Harvard Law School. These areas are mapped on my memory map, but I truly have no idea what buildings and what layout exists within the vague outlines of their borders. I think my map suggests that I am much more connected to the concrete facilities of Harvard University rather than the shops and surrounding businesses that do change throughout time. I also know much more about the individual routes that I take to the buildings that I frequent for class with other routes less traveled containing less information or more inaccurate building outlines and route curves due to the nature of my movement throughout Harvard’s campus. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/f143461b09096e9aa40c48e876fc03da.pdf f992f63d36298cc23c1c2fbaa7cafbca 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 Tianyu Liu Description An account of the resource 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 the branch between science center and Quincy Street. The locations of firehouse and Art Museum were a bit off 3. I missed the triangle area around brattle square. 4. I drew too many horizontal streets between Mt. Auburn and Charles river. I started drawing my sketch from Harvard Square, but I misrepresented a lot of triangular areas around it. Generally speaking, The biggest mistake was the size of science center plaza. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/8b8be8c2d0f21edb6d3238170e995463.pdf 383f557cb940296c4267b9ca5ff2eb57 https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/5b05be1c56d33ef50003f2241f88cd58.pdf 3e1d003c436e5a29eb9620cb318a30c2 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 Tianyu Liu Description An account of the resource First, I just want to say that I'm really impressed by both prudential center and Newbury street. Those two shopping areas are so close to each other, yet so different in style. It's really a lot of fun. Prudential center actually feel like a outside space even if it is actually inside. The glass ceilings and trees made me feel like I’m almost walking in an open area. There is no cars, which makes the area a bit more suitable to sit down an relax. Probably more people were sitting in prudential center than Newbury street. The entrance is interesting though, because I need to go up through escalator before I can walk around the shops. This design actually gives me a sense of distance between the inside shopping area, and the outside streets. Newbury street's open area is very accessible to pedestrians. I'm especially impressed by the little connection areas between the pedestrian walkway and the shops. Each shop has a slightly different entrance. Just the variety itself is pretty impressive. I'm also amazed by how people are using the space. Although the majority of people was walking, a lot of people were actually just sitting somewhere and relaxing. It almost feel like a plaza combined with shopping an outside shopping mall. Since Newbury street is outside, it is a bit hard to figure out who are shopping, and who is just passing by. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/usworld29/original/5d09233827a2e7845d7d22c8ce495eb9.pdf 6ced6fdb167119eed37769e6ceea3bbe 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 Tiffany Lopinsky Description An account of the resource 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 area of the Harvard campus relates to the rest of the square. While I spend a decent amount of time around CGIS, it’s hard for me to visualize how that connects to the square since I’m usually cutting through the yard. Also, my interpretation of how Mass Ave intersects with Brattle and JFK is very off, something I suppose is due to the fact that I never drive in the square – Harvard Square as a walker is much different than Harvard Square as a driver. I don’t know the names of the streets and I cross through spaces inaccessible to cars. Furthermore, the space between the Cambridge Common and the Quad (Chauncy Street, Shepard Street, Walker Street) is virtually non-existent on my map, likely due to the fact that I hardly ever find myself over there. The one space that I accurately depict is the space between Mt. Auburn and Mass Ave. Since I live in Lowell House and walk to the yard almost everyday, it’s easy to visualize.
