Out of curiosity, what projection would you go with?

Dymaxion would be disorienting but it would certainly get you thinking

This is the projection I’ve been working on for the past few weeks, a conformal spinoff of Cahill’s maps from the early 20th century:

I think it’ll be great for a map where the triangular sections are each about a meter on a side (1:10M scale), or perhaps half a meter on a side (1:20M scale).

I like Kavrayskiy VII as a good compromise projection fit for a rectangular print - just cut out the South Pole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavrayskiy_VII_projection
