THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Madesimo is recorded at 46.444° N, 9.359° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,948 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.
