Today I went to check my first Berkman Center luncheon. I don’t know what exactly the Berkman Center does but they have interesting people talk every Tuesday and give those who attend a free lunch which seems like a pretty good deal to me.
There are a ton of smart people in the Cambridge/Boston area, so my goal while living in the city is to take advantage of as many events like this as I can, and hopefully something will rub off.
Today’s speaker was Martin Zogran, Assistant Professor of Urban Design in the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. While most of what Zogran was talking about was foreign to me, he did talk about a couple interesting ideas. Links used in his presentation are available here. He also showed an idea of using the web to create a map which allows the Harvard community to find public spaces. Sort of Google Local on a even more local scale with more information on each public space.
There are a couple more photos from the luncheon in the gallery.
