The space between copley square and the John Handcock tower is a very unique one. The space is unlike any we have visited yet becuase there are no real definitions it is very open to the city. The space between the handcock tower and the chapel is a very special one, you are presented with two dramatically large buildings, one a large building with historic presence and the other the handcock an enormous building that seems unreal with is slender shape and form. the buildings seem to suction you through the space and be transfixed with the unreal mass of the handcock center. The church is seems to humble your senses and give off a sense of relaxation and across from it the handcock tower gives off a quietness from its power. light flows into the space between the two buildings giving it life from copley square park. the space ultimatly trencends a sense of intelligence, it connects massive structural accomplishment with the boston public library and the rest of the city.

Kayle,
Some of your photos are very good; the one with the hotel and the tower is remarkable. Now, your sketches and texts need urgent improvements. The sketches are still to cartoonist. In order to get the character of the space you need to use light and shadow and gray scale. You have to observe the trees more carefully. They also have light and shadow and some detail on the leave. Take advantage of that in your next assignment. The texts are still too descriptive and they have to be more analytic.
