Decoding National Aesthetics Through Data Science
By Alejandro Treny
This project applies data science techniques (color theory, geometric complexity, and regional clustering) to analyze the aesthetic design choices of 200+ global national flags.
Key Takeaways
- Regional Patterns: Dominance of specific color palettes across continents.
- Complexity Mapping: Quantifying geometric density in national symbols.
- Cluster Analysis: Grouping flags by aesthetic similarity rather than geography.
