Cartographica
Mapmaking as a discipline seems simple and straightforward, but it is one with a long and interesting history.
Maps have evolved over time as our view of the world around us has changed. Various representations of the world may show the same space but deliver it in entirely different ways.
The Cartigraphica section is our place to help explain the art and science behind what we do.

The World as a Cube
Print out the world and fold it together as a square-shaped globe.
