SHASTA VISIONS TM FULLER PROJECTION Printed on Recycled Paper Dymaxion™ Globe A A map of the Earth which presents geographic Information In a single, comprehensive picture without breaks In any of the continental contours, or any visible distortion of the relative shapes or sizes of the land masses. A A world projection with negligible distortion which can accurately display at a glance global Information such as human migration patterns and the distribution of natural resources. A New Perception of Earth The Transformation Scenario world maps are symbolic lools which help to shape our perception of Earth Every world map projection must make certain compromises as Information is transferred from o spherical globe to o flot surface. With this in mind, as early as 1927 Buckminster Fuler, on educator, engineer, architect, author, carlographer and futurist. set out to develop the world's most accurate 2-dimensional world map. He wanted to provide a view of the whole Earth at once which have the ability to reveal major trends in world affairs and show the shortest ok routes between land masses. Fuller predicted even then that global travel would shift from me seo to the sky and anticipated the emergence of what he formed a One-Town Alr-Ocean World." Designing for Accuracy Using the some mathematical principles on which his world famous geodesic domes were to be based, Fuller carefully designed a way to display the world of of once. with the least amount of visual distortion. Throughout the ne « 26 years he refined his world projection through many successive versions In order to reach me Highest level of accuracy. In 1954 Fuller called his final Icosahedral projection me "Dymaxion Alr-Ocean World." (The term "Dymaxion" was colned In the 1930's from Fuller's most commonly used words: dynamic, maximum and lunsion.) In 1980. on even more elegant and occurate Dymaxion Mop was developed by Fuller and his associates. Robert Grip and Christopher Kitrick. by using computer generated algorithms for latitude and longltude Information. Now O txand new saltion of Fuller's remarkable mop. the Fuler Projection Dymoodon Globe has been designed and updated by the Buckminster Fuller Institute using the distingulshed cartographic services of R.R. Donnelley & Sons. A Tool for Global Responsibility With our increasing global awareness, o world map is needed which unables us to highlight the relationships among 04 nations and cultures of the world rather than one which emphasizes artificial boundaries between them. Environmental concerns are becoming o centrol focus of our International agenda. Therefore, we must leom 10 see what unites us rather than what separates us, and to chort global resources, population and distribution patterns which charoc the complex trends and critical needs of the world today. In Fuller's own words, "the Dymaxion Map reveals o One-World Island In a One-World Ocean' which helps us to view the world as one Interdependent system of relationships. Each while dol represents approximately 1 percent of humanity (approximately 54.2 million people as of mld-1992). Each while dot is located near the highest population density of the 54.2 million people It represents. Instructions for Assembly: 1. Punch out map along die-cut lines. 2. Place map, face down, on any flat surface. Fold and crease all scored lines and tabs. Smooth, straight folc:s are Important. Now you are ready to begin assembling your Dymaxion™ Globe. 3. Insert tab A into slot A. Continue with B to B, c to C and so on through L to L. There should be no overlaps or gaps in the edges of the map. 4. Assemble the base by Inserting tab M into slot M.

The word Dymaxion and the Dymodon designate trademorks of the Buckminster Fullerinatitute The mop is also copyrighte by the Buckminst Fullerinatitute, 1938. 1967. 1980 1992 Transformation Sc enorio" drawing courle of Pot Chipman The designal this adition of the globe WOS mode possible through the generous contribution of the Aronovitz Family Foundation Population doto courtery of World Gome natifule. Cortographic INCOICE for this adition provided by RR Donnelley & Sone Co., Loncorter, PA. FULLER'S PROJECTION METHOD Fuller superimposed a spherical bosahedron grid onto the Earth's sphere. Each of the grid's edges are ares of "Great Clrcles' which show the shortest routes between two points on a sphere's surface. When the Great Circle ares are unfolded, the arc-edges of the spherical Icasahedron become the straight edges of the regular Icosahedron and the twenty spherical triangles become twenty plane triangles. Since the arc-edges are unfolded, thet lengths remain undistarted. Minute distortion in the middle of each triangle is distributed evenly throughout the mop. The Fuller Projection is not a "shadow" projection as most maps are because the world is not "projected" onto a regular Icasahedron but rather unfolds h/o an Icosahedron Thus, Fuller preferred to call his mop a "transformation" During this transformation the line from the sphere's center through the sphere's surface and out to the zenlth point is kept of a constant 90 degree angle with respect to the map's surface. Fuller referred to this as a "constant zenlth projection." in Commonly asked questions about the Fuller Projection: What is meant by "no visual distortion?" When transferring geographic data from the globe onto O flot plane, distortions will always occur In either shape. size, area. distance or direction. On projections such as the Mercator mop, the further north or south of the equator one goes, the more extreme the distortion becomes. When comparing the Mercator mop to o globe, It Is easy for everyone to see that Greenland, for example, is much larger on the flot Mercator mop than it is on the globe. However, when visually comparing land masses on Fuller's map to that of o globe, the land masses appear to have their correct ste. The Peters projection. on the other hand. sociffices shope to preserve relative occurocy In overall land area, distortions which are obvlous when comparing If to the globe. However, there are no visible shape discrepancies In any of the land masses on Fuler's mop when It is compared to a globe. Minute area and shape distortions can be detected mathematically and are equally distributed throughout the map. Visually. however, these distortions are negigible. Why an Icosahedron? A polyhedron is a many-sided 3-dimensional object. An icosahedron Is a polyhedron with 20 equilateral triangular faces. Of the five Platonic polyhedra (all of which have equal foces h size and shape). the Icosohedron most closely approximates sphere. Fuller found that the best way to loy various polyhedra flat while keeping Oll the land masses unbroken was to use the Icosahedron. With only two exceptions, all the breaks needed to loy the Icosohedron flot occur completely within the oceans, and. therefore, keeps the division of land masses to a minimum. With minor adjustments to two triangular faces. Fuller's Dymaxion Alr-Ocean World Map provides us with a flat view of all the Earth's land masses as unbroken Islands In a single world ocean. Why are the oceans broken up? Try peeling on orange while keeping the skin In one piece. Then lay the skin out flot. Notice how It needs breaks, or "sinuses" In many different places In order to by fiot. The more breaks introduced, the flatter the orange peel will lay. When on Icosahedron is unfolded and lold fiat, breaks need to be Introduced, just as In This provides a world view in which the land masses are unbroken.

By rearranging the triangles, with the South Pole of the center of the mop, navigation routes by sea become readly apparent, just as als routes across the North Pole are obvious in the original configuration. Fuller explored more than 25 different useful configurations of the Dymoxion Alr- Ocean World Mop. Each configuration Introduces breaks in different places and allows different aspects of the world to be emphasized. Why are the mean low temperature zones shown? The Fuller Projection defines our world not In terms of political boundarles or physical features but by temperature zone. Buckminster Fuller was Interested In the history of human migration and the geographical areas of technological Innovation as It related to temperature. Looking at the yellow bond closest to the North Pole we line find that the mean low temperature ranges from 23° to 41° Fahrenhelt. Fuller found that throughout history, humans migrated east to west along the 32° freezing and that the majortty of the dominant centers of modem civilization can be found to fie somewhere within this optimum temperature bond. He felt mot social patterns. human preoccupations and economic customs are determined by how cold II gets. not by how hot. Buckminster Fuller then realized that: (1) the colder anarea gets the larger the fluctuation in temperature is to be found, and (2) the more a geographical area's tem exature varies. the more technologically Inventive must humans living there become In order to survive. (For example, they must learn to buld boots to class a lok In summer, os well as design sleds to cross the Ice in winter.)

THEFULLER PROJECTION Dymaxion™ Air-Ocean World Unique Features of The Fuller Projection: A map of the Earth which presents geographic information in a single, comprehensive picture without breaks in any of the continental contours, or any visible distortion of the relative shapes or sizes of the land masses. A world projection with negligible distortion which can accurately display at a glance global information such as human migration patterns and the distribution of natural resources. TM A NEW PERCEPTION OF EARTH DESIGNING FOR ACCURACY A TOOL FOR GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY World maps are symbolic tools which help to shape our Using the same mathematical principles on which his With our increasing global awareness, a world map is perception of Earth. Every world map projection must world famous geodesic domes were to be based, Fuller needed which enables US to highlight the relationships make certain compromises as information is transferred carefully designed a way to display the world all at once, among all nations and cultures of the world rather than from a spherical globe to a flat surface. With this in mind, with the least amount of visual distortion. Throughout the one which emphasizes artificial boundaries between them. as early as 1927 Buckminster Fuller, on educator, next 26 years he refined his world projection through Environmental concerns are becoming 0 central focus of engineer, architect, author, cartographer and futurist, set many successive versions in order to reach the highest our international agenda. Therefore, we must learn to see out to develop the world's most accurate 2-dimensional level of accuracy. In 1954 Fuller called his final what unites US rather than what separates US, and to chart world map. He wanted to provide a view of the whole icosahedral projection the "Dymaxion Air-Ocean World." global resources, population and distribution patterns Earth at once which would have the ability to reveal (The term "Dymaxion" was coined in the 1930's from which characterize the complex trends and critical needs major trends in world affairs and show the shortest air Fuller's most commonly used words: dynamic, maximum of the world today. In Fuller's own words, "the routes between land masses. Fuller predicted even then and tension.) In 1980, an even more elegant and Dymaxion Map reveals 0 One-World Island in 0 One-World that global trovel would shift from the sea to the sky and accurate Dymaxion Map was developed by Fuller Ocean" which helps US to view the world as one anticipated the emergence of what he termed "a One- associates, Robert Grip and Christopher Kitrick, by using interdependent system of relationships.

Donnelley & Sons. Dymaxion = Dynamic + Maximum + Tension = "Doing More With Less" The word Dymaxion and the Dymaxion™ Map design are trademarks of the Buckminster Fuller Institute.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FULLER PROJECTION: What is meant by "no visual distortion?" When transferring geographic data from the globe onto a flat plane, distortions will always occur in either shape, size, area, distance or direction. On projections such as the Mercator Tap, the further north or south of the equator one goes, the more extreme the distortion becomes. When comparing the Mercator map to 0 globe, it is easy for everyone to see that Greenland, for example, is much larger on the flat Mercator map than it is on the globe. However, when visually comparing land masses on Fuller's map to that of a globe, the land masses appear to have their correct size. The Peters projection, on the other hand, sacrifices shape to preserve relative accuracy in overall land area; distortions are obvious when comparing it to the globe. However, there are no visible shape discrepancies in any of the land masses on Fuller's map when it is compared to a globe. Minute area and shape distortions can be detected mathematically and are equally distributed throughout the map. Visually, however, these distortions are negligible. Why an icosahedron? A polyhedron is 0 many-sided 3-dimensional object. An icosahedron is 0 polyhedron with 20 equilateral triangular faces. Of the five Platonic polyhedra (all of which have equal faces in size and shape), the icosahedron most closely approximates a sphere. Fuller found that the best way to lay various polyhedra flat while keeping all the land masses unbroken was to use the icosohedron. With only two exceptions, all the breaks needed to lay the icosahedron flat occur completely within the oceans, and, therefore, keeps the division of land masses to a minimum. With minor adjustments to two triangular faces, Fuller's Dymaxion Air-Ocean World Map provides US with 0 flat view of all the Earth's land masses as unbroken islands in 0 single world ocean. Why are the oceans broken up? Try peeling on orange while keeping the skin in one piece. Then lay the skin out flat. Notice how it needs breaks, or "sinuses" in many different places in order to lay flat. The more breaks introduced, the flatter the orange peel will lay. When an icosahedron is unfolded and laid flat, breaks need to be introduced, just as in the case of the orange peel. The question is then where to introduce these breaks? One way of doing this is to introduce the breaks in the oceans as much as possible. This provides 0 world view in which the land masses are unbroken. Fuller's map was actually designed to have all of the icosahedron's triangles separable. This allowed the map to be dynamic. By rearranging the triangles, with the South Pole at the center of the Tap, navigation routes by sea become readily apparent, just as air routes across the North Pole are obvious in the original configuration. Fuller explored more than 25 different useful configurations of the Dymaxion Air-Ocean World Map. Each configuration introduces breaks in different places and allows different aspects of the world to be emphasized. Why are the mean low temperature zones shown? The Fuller Projection defines our world not in terms of political boundaries or physical features but by temperature zone. Buckminster Fuller was interested in the history of human migration and the geographical areas of technological innovation as it related to temperature. Looking at the yellow band closest to the North Pole we find that the mean low temperature ranges from 23° to 41° Fahrenheit. Fuller found that throughout history, humans migrated east to west along the 32° freezing line and that the majority of the dominant centers of modern civilization can be found to lie somewhere within this optimum temperature band. He felt that social patterns, human preoccupations and economic customs are determined by how cold it gets, not by how hot. Buckminster Fuller then realized that: (1) the colder an area gets the larger the fluctuation in temperature is to be found, and (2) the more 0 geographical area's temperature varies, the more technologically inventive must humans living there become in order to survive. (For example, they must learn to build boats to cross 0 lake in summer, as well as design sleds to cross the ice in winter.) FULLER 'S PROJECTION METHOD Fuller superimposed a spherical icosahedron grid onto the Earth's sphere. Each of the grid's edges are arcs of "Great Circles" which show the shortest routes between two points on 0 sphere's surface. When the Great Circle arcs are unfolded, the arc-edges of the spherical icosahedron become the straight edges of the regular icosahedron and the twenty spherical triangles become twenty plane triangles. Since the arc-edges are unfolded, their lengths remain undistorted. Minute distortion in the middle of each triangle is distributed evenly throughout the map. The Fuller Projection is not a "shadow" projection as most maps are because the world is not "projected" onto a regular icosahedron but rather unfolds into on icosahedron. Thus, Fuller preferred to call his map a "transformation." During this transformation, the line from the sphere's center through the sphere's surface and out to the zenith point is kept at a constant 90 degree angle with respect to the map's surface. Fuller referred to this as 0 "constant zenith projection."
