Dymaxion Air Ocean World
The Dymaxion map of the Earth is a projection of a global map onto the surface of a polyhedron, which can then be flattened to form a two-dimensional map which retains most of the relative proportional integrity of the globe map.
Fuller's projection has less distortion of relative size of areas, most notably when compared to the Mercator projection; and less distortion of shapes of areas.
Projection: Buckminster-Fuller
Scale: 1:47,600,000
Size: 910 x 580 mm
Unlaminated Price: $69.90
Laminated Price: $84.90
