BECAUSE SO MANY modern human activities affect not only local
communities but the entire Planet, Fuller’s Dymaxion Map has
proved especially beneficial to individuals involved in planning.
People who forecast future trends and devise strategies involving
global issues find the Dymaxion Map particularly helpful because
[IT] allows them to observe all Earth’s landmasses portrayed in
accurate relationship to one another.
As a result of his study of and work within the maturing field
of aeronautics, Bucky began to appreciate the aeronautical
perspective that both the land and water areas of the surface
of the Earth provide the inner boundary of an always available,
yet only recently discovered and utilised, unbroken “ocean of
air”. The outer limit of that ocean of air is the threshold of outer
space where airplanes cannot fly. Even in the 1930s, Fuller
understood that during the first half of this century, the
leading edge of transportation was gradually shifting from water
to air in a process unnoticed by most people. With that
transformation, the leading edge of innovation also moved from
the nautical to the aerospace industry.
