THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Ordino Arcalís is recorded at 42.611° N, 1.516° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,616 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.
