wondered what will the shapes of tomorrow’s winter sports look like?
Created for White Out, the exhibition at Triennale Milano curated by Marco Sammicheli and Konstantin Grcic with Nathalie Opris, this infographic explores whether — and how — skiing and winter sports might still be possible in the near future.
Starting from climate data by German researcher Dr. Robert Steiger, the project translates complex scenarios into a clear and visual narrative. Under the concept Shapes of Tomorrow’s Winter Sports, three key variables define the story: snow availability, water consumption for artificial snow, and the future length of ski seasons. Each dataset is distilled into a simple geometric form — a triangle, a circle, and a square — symbolizing a mountain, an alpine lake, and a calendar. Visually, the infographic draws inspiration from orographic drawings, using textures, patterns, and sectional lines to evoke the language of topography and landscape mapping.
