The map is an abstract representation of the journey from my apartment to the university. Shadow is used to describe the slope of the streets, color is used to signify the difficulty of crossing the street.
The buildings along the main street are shown in an exaggerated, distorted perspective. This is done to create the feeling of the urban wall that is present on the street. The building on the far right is only outlined in black; this is because it is currently being built but is not yet part of the urban wall.
The rough pencil sketching of the extended neighborhood represents an area I know little about. For this reason I used pencil, a medium that can be erased. The frame is off-center to show my understanding of the extended city beyond.
