Wordle Analysis
I recently discovered Wordle, a visualization tool for websites. I’m very curious about the social network of design computing community. Trying to understand the trends, how the knowledge is spreading, and the role of different actors on this developing field of architectural design. First of all, I analyzed designcoding.net with all words within 103 posts until today (Click on the image for full size). Wordle can be visited by clicking here.
Below is the grasshopper3d.com’s wordle result. I suspect it’s rss feed might be showing limited time, but even this result gives an impression of what is happening in the community.
Finally, forum pages of Grasshopper (grasshopper3d.com/forum) gives the following result. Notice the huge difference between the biggest words.

With this intention, Designcoding went online in 2011. I tried to share my research, some student work, and news. While learning computational geometry, I wanted to teach it as…
More Swirly Flames
March 21, 2023
This is a return to the Swirly Flames tutorial I made in 2013 here. Since then, Photoshop changed a bit. There is no more Variations tool. Therefore, I had to use other tools such as Color Balance, Hue/Saturation, Inverse, etc. to achieve the same effect. It is still cool for me, personally, although we are in the age of AI-generated images now. It is not the visual result only, but the memories it carries until today. Nowadays, I am translating…
