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…

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…

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…

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…

Prudential center actually feel like a…

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…
