A graph I made on many eyes that lets you visualize the correlation between the number of flickr photos per node and visibility graph network centrality measurements for Valparaiso. It’s interactive, you can change the X and Y axes content, etc. Fairly cool.

A geolocated tag-cloud for all the flickr photographs that have been placed within Valparaiso, Chile. The size of the text relates to the frequency of use of each tag in each position (not the overall frequency). This is part of my MArch thesis, and makes use of James Clarke’s flicker.py to retrieve the data.
If you […]

I just found an online reference to one of my papers (co-written with Sebastián Guevara), in Portuguese: “Sigradi 2006 - Santiago de Chile Um novo paradigma para o uso da informática na arquitetura“.

Some work done with Claudio Labarca on the simulation of building codes in 3d. It takes as its input an area’s building codes, lots and road centerlines, and generates 3d models of possible buildings that maximize their allowed heights and surface areas.
This method has been used in the discussion and approval of building codes in […]

A few preliminary graphics from my thesis, an application of three-dimensional visibility graph analysis to “weak heritage” sites.
A simple 3d model is represented as an array of tiles(30×30 in the example) with each of the tiles as a vertex vi of a graph G, with an edge (vi,vj) in G if vi and vj are […]

Some example models created with the “Fractalize” maxscript plugin, that I wrote to allow students of the undergraduate course I teach to experiment with shapes generated by recursion.
The variables and dialog are in Spanish (as the course is taught in Chile), but should be fairly self-explanatory.
Some students have done interesting work with this, I’ll post […]

An image made with a simple maxscript I wrote that allows for the creation of recursive forms.
Will post a longer explanation and the code later.
