QGIS is a way of looking, not just a tool

I came to QGIS because I wanted to work with maps. I stayed interested because it keeps asking me to slow down.

Before an analysis, there is data preparation. Before a result, there is a study area. Before a confident statement, there is the question of whether the layers actually belong together.

The JU Campus Vegetation Analysis is useful to me because it is close enough to understand and complicated enough to teach me something. Vegetation, buildings, boundaries, projections: none of it is just decoration once the layers meet.

Spatial work is partly about making patterns visible. It is also about noticing what the pattern leaves out.
