AuthaGraph World Map | Hajime Narukawa | Kanagawa (JAP) | By Lee Fleming

We recently came across the AuthaGraph world map, designed by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa. Having broken the planet into 96 equal parts, Narukawa combined different projections of the Earth to create a globe-like tetrahedron that unpacks into a rectangular map. The AuthaGraph world map displays shape and size with the precision of the Dymaxion map, but remains rectangular, just like the Mercator.

To find out more check out Narukawa's TED talk and/or visit the AuthaGraph website.
