This is a sketch of a site plan of a part of MIT's Campus. Darker hatched portions reveal spaces I decided to sketch. You can notice certain pockets of space embedded within the campus I believe this adds to the quality of the sequence of spaces as you move through out the great works of Architecture implanted onto the site.
This is probably the most inhabited space on the campus, flooded with people all day long. this "square" is not traditional in the sense of the area around the main green space but is framed by great buildings with many entry points. The next square is a more traditional sense of a public square framed by one extending building generating a main green space and several secondary spaces with an unlimited amount of uses.
The last two sketches of this demonstrate two more smaller gathering spaces embedded within the campus. The first is and outdoor auditorium outside Gehry's MIT addition and a large atrium space illustrating the clever use of moving planes coming together to form
a collision of a space within a building.
