Fuller Projection Air-Ocean
World Dymaxion Map
The Dymaxion™ Air-Ocean World map, invented
by R. Buckminster fuller, shows our planet without
any visible distortion of relative shapes and sizes
of the land and sea areas, and without any breaks
in the continental contours. A favorite with Bucky
fans, schools, students of all ages, and parents.
Get one for each of the kids and one for you too.

The Air-Ocean World Dymaxion Map includes major
rivers, cities and mean low temperature gradients.
Although people easily live in hotter weather by
sweating, low temperatures determine their need
for shelter. (Order)
Enjoy this beautiful four color poster (34" X 22")(86cm
X 56cm) printed on heavy-gauge paper from the moment
you receive it. It's perfect for framing or laminating.

Our
Spaceship Earth:
One Island in One Ocean ... from space
Satellite Self Portrait
Dymaxion Map
Fondly called Our Spaceship Earth,
this map combines the latest in natural color satellite
photograph technology with the accuracy of the Fuller
Projection to create a truly stunning, cloud-free
image of our world. (Order)
The Satellite Self-Portrait Dymaxion Map shows
a remarkable cloud-free view of Earth was produced
by mosaicking hundreds of individual satellite images
acquired from the NOAA
(US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
series of weather satellites which orbit the earth
at an altitude of 520 miles (820 km).
Once the base satellite mosaic had been completed,
the land areas were enhanced with shaded-relief
imagery bringing the Earth's topography to life.
For the ocean areas, WorldSat incorporated ocean
floor relief data enhanced with SST (Sea Surface
Temperature) data, which revealed major ocean currents
across the Earth.
Richly colored blues, greens and ambers glow against
a deep, matte black background. Sunlight is fixed
at 45 degrees over the horizon in a north north-east
orientation, creating a uniform shadow that clarifies
relief for an excellent delineation of the mountains,
plains and ocean floor features. (Order)
Scale: approximately 1:43,520,000 (at the Equator).
1" = 686 miles, 1cm = 435 km. Digital Image
Processing by Robert Gray and Jim Knighton, on a
SGI workstation. (Order)
This fabulous map is printed on 36" x 24" (92cm
x 61cm) extra heavy-gauge high-gloss paper.

Dymaxion
Globe Fold-Up Puzzle
Make Your Own World!
Folded from the Our Spaceship Earth
Satellite Self Portrait Dymaxion Map, this 6" icosahedral
(20-sided) globe generates conversation on global
issues and solutions. (Order)
Fuller's Projection Method
This fold-up globe is based on
R.Buckminster Fuller's world map. Fuller created
several world maps in his attempts to create a visually
accurate flat rendition of a sherical globe. His
final version was based on the icosahedron, a polyhedron
with 20 equilateral triangular faces. Fuller first
published his icosahedral version of the map in
1954. This is a cloud-free satellite image fold-up
globe based on his icosahedral world map. (Order)
An Accurate Tool
All flat world map representations
of a sherical globe contain some amount of distortion
either in shape, area, distance, or direction measurements.
On the well-known Mercator world map, Greenland
appears to be three times its corresponding globe
size and Antarctica appears as a long thin white
strip along the bottom edge of the map. Even the
popular Robinson Projection, now used in many schools,
still contains a large amount of distortion with
Greenland 60 percent larger than its corresponding
globe size. (Order)
A New Perception of Earth
If a world map presents visually
obvious distortions of our world, then our perceptions
and presumtions become distorted. Every projection
must make certain compromises as information is
transferred from a spherical globe to a flat surface.
As early as 1927, R. Buckminster Fuller began to
search for and develop an accurate 2-dimensional
world map. The Fuller Projection enables us to visualize
the planet's surface in a single view without visually
obvious distortions of the
relative shapes, sizes or connections of the continents.
(Order)
Teaches tactile skills, geometry,
cartography, and a new perception of earth. Excellent
for home schooling too! (Order)
Hang from the ceiling or a mobile,
or place on your desk or table. Easy to build. Stand
included. Ready to assemble with complete instructions.
A great gift for ages 8 and
up. (Order)
Globe and packaging made from recycled
paper.
