Fuller Dymaxion Map

Buckminster Fullers Dymaxion(tm) Air-Ocean World Map–The Fuller Projection.

Think about it, if you walk “up” a stairway he said you are really walking out toward space, and if you walk down the stairs you are also walking “in” toward the earth. We are standing on a sphere, (qt movie, 4.3mb) held to its surface by the forces of gravity, not a flat world with edges to the north, south, east and west. Fuller designed a tool which helps us to better perceive the rotating sphere on which we reside, a place he liked to call “Spaceship Earth.”

There is no wrong way to look at this map! There is no “upside down.” Fuller said “there is no up or down in Universe, only in and out.”
