This faceted, multilayered structure could conceivably fold in either direction to form a continuous globe or, more precisely, a cuboctohedron, derived from by the global "Dymaxion" projection maps developed by designer and visionary R. Buckminister Fuller. Reviewed by Jimmy Kuenhle on Arthopper.org , "Emergent Hierarchy."
