THE LIVING MAP

The mapped place

Selva Val Gardena is recorded at 46.556° N, 11.758° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,518 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.
