THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Sölden is recorded at 46.967° N, 10.876° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 3,340 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.
