centroid







Architects love diagrams. Projects live and die by them here in architecture school.

This is an interactive diagram I made to show the "Centroid" of the Harvard undergrad housing (sans frosh). I won't explain too much except to explain that "weighted" means that the calculations take into account the number of residents, so a more populated house will affect the centroid more than a sparsely populated house. Unweighted is then just the average by location only. Also see if you can figure out how to turn on and off houses and edit their populations (note: the population numbers are accurate for most of the houses as of this year).

p.s. See if you can find the bug in the programming. I could probably fix it…if I wanted to.
