FRACTAL BLIZZARD

This project analyzes, interprets, and interacts with the natural phenomenon of blizzards against the backdrop of climate change. Revolving around the central concept of the fractal structure inherent to blizzards, the design is conducted in three phases: 1) analytical drawings that explore the fractal structure of blizzards, 2) a wearable device that promotes interaction between the wearer and the blizzard by amplifying the latter, and 3) a research outpost that chronicles the evolution of blizzards over time by accelerating blizzard-related erosion to reshape the topography and the spatial experience of the occupant.
