Buckminster Fuller was a writer and designer who lived through much of the 20th Century. He found thoughtful and unusual ways of looking at things. He argued that homes could be spheres. He praised the building wisdom of tents. He asked more questions than almost everyone. He drew and constructed a map and globe that will let you see the world as you might not have considered it.
His Dymaxion Map represented all the continents accurately. But his globe unfolded and then refolded to tell important stories: for example that you can see the whole world as one interconnected island.
Spend a day exploring a great mind. He left maps. He suggested polygons for you to build. A dome house to build. And a very important map for you to experiment with... and learn from.
