When I first arrived to Boston I found this land completely unfamiliar, coming from a small rural town. The scale of architecture alone seemed to overwhelm my perception. I saw Boston as this massive maze of unexplored and confusing culture. At first I didn’t understand how everything was connected. I couldn’t even tell you what part of Boston I lived in; I just knew that I was close to the Northeastern Campus. Due to the massive architecture that lined Huntington Ave., I felt comfortable enough to make that my first route of exploration. The architecture created a direct path from my campus up to the Prudential and Copley Square. For me, I found that everything else branches out from this main avenue or organized architecture. The architecture of the financial district and the north end is much less grid like and harder to find your way.
