animation showing the unfolding of a Dymaxion map, a
projection of a
world map onto the surface of a
polyhedron (in this case, an
icosahedron) and then flattened to form a two-dimensional map which retains most of the relative proportional integrity of the globe map. This type of map was invented by
Buckminster Fuller and is one of several of his inventions to use the name
Dymaxion.Image: Chris Rywalt
