THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Sinaia is recorded at 45.349° N, 25.548° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 2,060 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.
