Buckminister Fuller Dymaxion Globe Papercraft

In 1943, Life Magazine featured an article on a new type of world map envisioned by inventor Buckminster Fuller. Fuller's map was called the "Dymaxion World". Once folded, the map forms a cubeoctahedron. Fuller's goal in creating the Dymaxion World was to create a map that, when flat, shows all the land masses as contiguous. A printable template for the globe may be found here. The finished papercraft is roughly 10" (25cm) in diameter.
