THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Kartalkaya is recorded at 40.615° N, 32.032° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,200 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.
