Academic research paper – Comparing and Clustering Residential Layouts Using a Novel Measure of Grating Difference
This paper applies clustering to a dataset of 129 residential layouts, which were collected from contemporary architectural practices, to reveal underlying design patterns. To achieve this, this paper introduces a novel measure for the topological properties of layouts: ‘grating difference

Digital Fabrication experiment; A video of a laser cut connections for a small out building
I decided a better rabbit hutch to provide direct access to the outside run. So I used our #lasercutter to make some simple #plywood connections, and then used offcuts of timber, an old packing crate I found in our loft and mesh to create a new hutch which connects to the run. Half way through I realised it was too heavy to move so it is also mounted on two dolly trolleys so we can wheel it to new places in the garden.
