THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Les Diablerets/Glacier 3000 is recorded at 46.348° N, 7.202° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,971 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.
