THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Folgaria is recorded at 45.919° N, 11.179° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 1,820 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.
