A Dymaxion map, a map projection developed by Buckminster Fuller, depicting a satellite view of the earth against a panorama of the night sky. The map is 16 x 24 in. It is very high quality, professionally printed on premium, satin photo paper. In 1946, Buckminster Fuller Institute patented a map of Earth which presents geographic information without breaks in any of the continental contours, or any visible distortion of the relative shapes or sizes of the land masses. In 1954, the Dymaxion Projection as we know it today was hand drawn by architect, Shoji Sadao, the cartographer and collaborator behind the map. Designer Brendan Ravenhill has configured Fuller’s projection as a magnetic folding globe, a representation of Earth that easily transitions from flat to three dimensional. This edition of the map features only land & sea, depicting earth as an archipelago absent of its territories. Fold it to form a geometric globe or unfold to reveal our flattened planet.
