Sight Unseen: New Ways of Seeing Climate Data in Singapore

Abstract

The project explores how design might bridge the gap between technology and nature to reimagine climate change communication in Singapore. By integrating data humanism, multisensory design, synesthetic approaches, and posthumanist perspectives, it addresses the challenges of conveying the urgency of climate change in urban contexts. The research examines effective frameworks for visualizing climate issues, engaging audiences emotionally and cognitively, and fostering actionable responses. Through an interdisciplinary lens that combines ecological insights, semiotic studies, and technological innovation, this study develops a design toolkit to inspire empathy, critical thinking, and hands-on solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation.
