Hello everyone,
I have something to share with you. I went to Chicago this spring break and had the chance to visit the Buckminster Fuller exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago. I did not know about this architect (designer, philosopher, thinker, visionary, inventor, engineer, mathematician, poet, cosmologist, and more), and was impressed by his work and, above all, his ideas.
Mr. Fuller, sometime around 1954, after working on the world map for one decade, he came out with a map named The Dymaxion Map. Thsi is known to be "the only flat map of the entire surface of the earth that reveals our planet as it really is an island in one ocean without any visible distortion of the relative shapes and sizes of the land areas, and without splitting any continents".
To know more:
Thank you,
Maria Elisa Mandarim
