“Buckminster Fuller may have been on to something when he created his Dymaxion Air-Ocean World Map ... The Fuller Projection.”

‘The Dymaxion Map is the only flat map of the entire surface of the earth that reveals our planet as it really is an island in one ocean without any visible distortion of the relative shapes and sizes of the land areas, and without splitting any continents.’

An amazingly simple idea, Fuller's Icosahedron based world map (sometimes referred to as the Dymaxion(TM) map.)

Dymaxion = Dynamic + Maximum + Tension = 'Doing More With Less'
