THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Monterosa Ski is recorded at 45.836° N, 7.776° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 3,275 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.
