In my sketch, I aimed to draw an accurate representation of the heart of Harvard square, slightly off center from the main T stop, so that I could include the Yard in greater proportion. Overlaid on top of the physical layout of the buildings,…

To sketch Copley Place/Prudential Center Malls and Newbury St., I first stopped by Newbury St. since it was earlier in the morning and the shops at the mall were not open yet. At Newbury St., it was extremely easy to navigate to, just one block away…

For this assignment I chose to draw a plan of the pathways from my dorm, Greenough, to the yard. I walk this pathway multiple times each day, and it is an integral yet monotonous part of my routine. I thought that my familiarity with this area would…

I visited Newbury Street before I visited the malls and was immediately intrigued by its spatial feel. It feels very wide and light in comparison to most streets so I attempted to do a sketch that would capture that essence in some way. I decided…

upperclassmen houses along the river was. I have a lot of familiarity with that area,
