Visualizing complexity in artificial turf and microplastic pollution
In the course Visualizing Complexity, led by Professor Tore Gulden as part of the Master’s programme in Design in Complexity at OsloMet, students explored complex societal challenges through systems-oriented design and GigaMapping. Engaging with the REDUCE project one of the resulting student projects investigates the environmental and societal implications of artificial turf pitches that use recycled tire rubber as infill, revealing the intricate network of actors, materials, policies, and environmental processes involved.
