Do you know about the Waterman?

One of the more interesting projections I think is the Waterman Butterfly projection. Some map projections use interruptions to reduce distortion in important regions. The Waterman Butterfly takes it to the extreme! The methodology behind the construction of this projection was to place the globe onto a polyhedron.

I think this is a really interesting projection because it portrays our world to give it a more abstract and philosophical perspective. That we go through our lives having this established conceptual notion that the map is always a rectangle, but then the Waterman Butterfly comes along and challenges that line of thought.  It also looks like, as the name suggest, a butterfly.
