THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Stowe is recorded at 44.533° N, 72.718° W. Its catalogue reference reaches 1,110 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.
