Spatial, Cartographic & Systems Studies

A body of large-format cartographic and spatial visualisation works exploring the relationship between topography, settlement patterns, infrastructure and landscape systems across a range of international urban and regional environments.

The work was positioned at the intersection of cartography, spatial analysis and visual communication rather than conventional navigation mapping.

Spearheaded the full cartographic design and production process, including spatial data sourcing, GIS analysis, terrain modelling, map composition and graphic refinement using ArcGIS Pro and the Adobe Suite.

Maps were produced at both urban and regional scales using datasets including OpenStreetMap, NASA SRTM elevation data, and national or local government mapping sources.

The work strengthened capabilities in GIS analysis, terrain interpretation, regional spatial systems thinking, and the communication of complex geographic information through detailed visual frameworks.

The collection included regional and metropolitan studies across South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, including mapping studies of Cape Town, Seattle, Wellington and Reykjavík. One Western Cape map was produced at 1:300,000 with 30 m contour intervals covering the entire province; the SW British Columbia and NW Washington map was created at 1:250,000 with 50 m contour intervals, including the Seattle and Vancouver metropolitan areas.
