THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
St. Moritz is recorded at 46.491° N, 9.835° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 3,303 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.
