maxvogt-analysis

This repository contains data for spatial analyses that are part of a research project on spatial/urban design features of railway-related built structures designed by the Swiss architect Max Vogt. The data in this repository is openly available to everyone and is intended to support reproducible research. See the Quarto project website for extensive documentation.

Results of the analyses are accessible in an online collection of Vogt’s buildings and presented as a poster at the Spatial Humanities 2024 conference at the University of Bamberg.

Repository Structure

The structure of this repository is based on the Open Research Data Template by @maehr, follows the Advanced Structure for Data Analysis of The Turing Way and is organized as follows:

  • analysis/: notebooks used to retrieve and analyze the data
  • assets/: images, logos, etc. used in the README and other documentation
  • data/: data files
  • docs/: documentation for the data and the repository
  • results/: geodata output of the analysis notebooks

Additionally, there is a Zotero group library with a collection of scientific articles and news reports that are of relevance for this project.

Data Description

See Workflow for a description of the project workflow and the data obtained for this project.

Installation

To run the analysis locally, create a new conda environment based on the environment.yml file.

conda env create -f environment.yml

Activate the environment.

conda activate maxvogt

Open the Jupyter Notebook platform.

jupyter notebook

Pick a notebook from analysis/ to start the spatial analysis for one of Max Vogt’s buildings.

Use
