Int Seminar 2: Walking Assignment

WALK 1: Saturday, Feb. 3 2018  1:18pm – 2:19pm

The route

 

I started at 3rd Ave & 68th St.

Below are observations made, separated by cross st. and ave. names.

Things I noticed was that every sections of tree linings (tree lines in my notes) were different, according to the property they were technically under. Tree lines on the avenues tended to be more simple, and ones on the streets were more intricate/had nicer plants. However, the nicer tree lines mostly came from middle class apt. buildings, higher class apts. could either be nice or not maintained. (above is on an ave., below is on a st.)

Also, there were multiple cases where completely different styles of architecture stood right next to each other. There was no cohesion of style, the buildings were completely different in variation.

A surprising thing was I saw an 80-year old man (possibly) riding a scooter down the street (the Razer kind). I can also account for seeing 3 different people with 3 different dogs at 3 different places but they all had small, white dogs, with a red little coat.

 

The 2nd walk was on Thursday, from 12:44pm-1:44pm. This is the route.

I saw the same occurring themes as the last walk. (in order: a street apt. tree line, an avenue one, variation of building architecture)

 

There were also multiple medical buildings, specifically including branches from Weill Cornell college and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centers.

A surprising thing on this was that there was a random mug left on a tree line with a half drunk coffee.
