Framing Water: Exploring Tensions between Social Norms and Environmental Sustainability through a Data Physicalization Game

Mountain areas are especially vulnerable to climate change. In recent years, intermittent droughts have forced many Alpine huts to close early or rely on cable cars or helicopters to import water. To raise awareness of water scarcity among hut visitors, we developed Framing Water, a reflective game based on the data p…

Facing the Limits: Designing Data Physicalizations to Reduce Water Consumption in Mountain Huts

Mountain huts are buildings in remote mountain areas that depend on local water sources, such as snow, rain, and springs, as they are not connected to centralized water systems. In this pictorial, we report the design process undertaken to explore how data physicalization can communicate the problem of water scarcity…
