Quick Blog Update April 2019

It’s been quite a while (3 years!) since I have published any new content on this blog. Originally it was intended as a resource for landscape architecture students taking a small elective seminar using Rhino and Grasshopper at the Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany. I wasn’t sure if it would be received by a larger audience or not, but over time, it has proven to be a resource used by those using Rhino and Grasshopper in many fields (but still for landscape architects as well!) As of early April 2019 there have been 845,210 page views from around 150,000 unique users.

I have received a lot of positive feedback on the blog but as it became more popular, it became increasingly hard to keep it managed especially since I was getting deeper into my doctoral research and the algorithms I was looking at didn’t lend themselves very well to quick blog posts. I had a lot of ideas, but never the time to formulate them into simple tutorials, and all my writing efforts had to be directed elsewhere.

Anyways, I am happy to report the thesis is done, I have started a new position at the University of Sheffield in Northern England, and now that I am getting my other responsibilities under control, I will have a bit more time to dedicate to adding new content. I will probably clean up the index and restructure a lot of the sections at some point later this summer, and will add posts on more complicated algorithms I looked at for my thesis that aren’t full ‘tutorials’ in the coming months, but I will try and add some new easy tutorials as well. Regardless, I have committed to updating the blog on average once per month. I am also going to start an instagram account for the blog soon. Updates will follow. Finally, I will try and slowly add the *.gh files to some of the more popular and complex scripts since many have requested them but I wasn’t able to provide them. Anyways, there will be at least two new posts in April with hopefully with more regular postings after that!
