Work and settlement beneath the snowline

THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Livigno is recorded at 46.539° N, 10.135° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,798 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.
