What would a map that represents a more distinct lived human cultural perspective look like? That has been the very personal question for Icao Tiseli with her award-winning project Mapping the Wheke.

At the end of 2023, the Tongan-born Tāmaki Makaurau-based associate at architecture firm Jasmax was named one of six winners for the project at Archiprix International, a biennial competition that looks to showcase the new generation of the world's best architects and urbanists. She travelled to Rotterdam with other finalists to workshop ideas for assisting the rebuild of Ukraine.
