THE LIVING MAP

The mapped place

Sauze d'Oulx is recorded at 45.030° N, 6.862° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,823 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.
