The Connected World
I love this projection of the world, based on the work of Buckminster Fuller. He called it his Dymaxion Map and it is, as was so typical of the man who invented the geodesic dome, based on interlocking triangles. From the Buckminster Fuller Institute site:
Traditional world maps reinforce the elements that separate humanity and fail to highlight the patterns and relationships emerging from the ever evolving and accelerating process of globalization. Instead of serving as “a precise means for seeing the world from the dynamic, cosmic and comprehensive viewpoint,” the maps we use still cause humanity to “appear inherently disassociated, remote, self-interestedly preoccupied with the political concept of its got to be you or me; there is not enough for both.”
