THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Erciyes is recorded at 38.531° N, 35.447° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 3,400 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
