THE LIVING MAP

The mapped place

Park City is recorded at 40.646° N, 111.498° W. Its catalogue reference reaches 3,048 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.
