GEOGRAPHY

The Dymaxion Map (1943), also known as the Fuller Projection Map, is the only patented map in history. Bucky's map implemented a novel distribution of distortion in going from a 3-Dimensional globe to a 2-Dimensional map. This map is used in order to see "the whole Earth at once as one world island in one world ocean" and comprises a series of images in which data is visualized on this map to convey a big idea all at once. Furthermore, Fuller's Geoscope, a walk-in, spherical, inside-out, reverse-planetarium suspended in mid air, is a dramatic, underutilized tool for global visualization which was very much at the center of Fuller’s conception of World Game.
