    The diploma project โ€œBergdramaโ€ by Elena Kaeser, graduate of subject area โ€œKnowledge Visualizationโ€, is featured in Hochparterre magazine. In her diploma thesis, Elena Kaeser developed a 3-D animation of a potential landslide. Her goal is to make the consequences of alpine natural disasters tangible.

    In the Alps today, natural disasters such as landslides, floods and avalanches are becoming more frequent and pose a danger to both the local population and tourists. A current example is the โ€œSpitze Steiโ€ formation above Kandersteg, where the rock slope is considered unstable and represents a potential alpine natural hazard.

    Elena Kaeserโ€™s 3-D animation visualised one of several possible landslide scenarios to raise awareness of these dangers. The project โ€œBergdramaโ€ shows how design can be used to make complex topics tangible and understandable.

    Read more about Elena Kaeser and her diploma project in the Hochparterre magazine. Elena Kaeser is also part of โ€œShowcase Design 2023โ€. You can find more exciting background information about her project on the Showcase Design website.
