#30DayMapChallenge Day 11: Minimal Map – Hikurangi Subduction Zone 🪡
A single sweeping line of tambour beading traces where the Pacific Plate dives beneath the Australian Plate along Aotearoa’s east coast.
The Hikurangi Subduction Zone is New Zealand’s largest and most active fault boundary.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 10: Air – Blown Away: Wind Zones in Porirua City 💨
Using coloured pencil, this map shows how wind exposure varies across Porirua from calmer pockets to very high and specific-design areas.
Designing for hazards is a complex problem. ✏️

#30DayMapChallenge Day 9: Analog🗺️
This hand-drawn chalk map of Wellington City highlights the active faults that define our region’s landscape and seismic risk. The map traces how the city is shaped by the complex boundary between the Pacific & Australian tectonic plates. Data from GNS Science.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 7: Accessibility🌄
What we see shapes what we value. Not everyone experiences the landscape in the same way. This visibility map of the Ruamāhanga catchment shows which areas are most and least seen from roads. 3D printing the terrain to make the landscape more accessible.

Day 6: Dimensions #30DayMapChallenge
Each air-dry clay hexagon was hand-crafted during a Critical Signals workshop on exploring risk and resilience. Each participant shaped their area based on an aerial photograph & when pieced together, the city takes form: imperfect, dimensional, and human.

Day 2: Lines – The Secret Life of Streams 💧
UV light reveals piped streams.
Early Wellington was shaped by streams flowing to the harbour. As the city grew, many were piped underground, hidden from sight but still running beneath our feet.
