The main point I attempted to distinguish in these two/three drawings was the difference between non-commercial walkways in the two spaces. In the malls the walkways felt like these clearly defined pathways, with just a few entrances/exits,…

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…

I’d say my map is fairly accurate, though not at all to scale. The areas of Harvard Square that I know well are quite detailed; I found while doing the assignment that I know almost every building in the four square blocks between the yard and the…

The main difference between my sketch and reality is that my sketch is a lot more grid-like, while the actual layout of Harvard Square has far more curved roads and diagonally-aligned buildings. For example, the engineering and law school portions of…

Upon looking at a map of the actual area on Google Maps, I found that my memory didn’t fail me too much; the relative placement of most of the buildings was fairly accurate so the overall product didn’t look entirely different. However, and this is…

The path I choose to draw is the path or two points that I have spent most of my time in. Since I am studying Engineering I tend to spend most of my time around Maxwell Dworkin. As I was trying to picture my usual path I only really remember my…

One of the most interesting aspects that I observed when I visited Copley place, prudential center and Newbury Street is the spectrum of the buildings interaction with the outside world. Newbury Street was the center with the most interaction with…

My ability to reproduce Harvard Square from memory was greatly shaped by my limited area of daily access. I live in Dunster House, which is on the eastern-most side of campus and all my classes are on Quincy Street. I rarely head north or west, even…
