plotting dendogram

brief description: create a plot showing groups/clusters of architects who were born around similar times (i.e. a range of year)

method: there are variety of ways to create a plot that show group and cluster relationships

• dendogram
• parallel coordinate
• cluster plot
• orthogonal convex hull (a potential method)

in this post, dendogram is explored

hello world!

my name is mon thi han. i am an ARB registered architect and currently work for Foster+Partners in London. i gained postgraduate degree in architecture from the Bartlett, UCL (2017) and RIBA Part I from the Architectural Association School of Architecture (2012). i am originally from Myanmar. this blog is set up to record my personal research work. here I catalogue

• mini-projects using python scripting
• progress towards writing research interest/ abstract
• sketches
• annual reading lists and book reviews
• general 

would be delighted to receive feedbacks.
