The IAAP logo above is an image from the artist Anca Colbert based on Albrecht Dürer’s Armillary Sphere; it captures the essence of the multiple within the whole. The creation of the Armillary Sphere, a woodcut from 1525, contributed to a new understanding of perspective in geometry and was part of the Renaissance movement. The sphere, composed of seven circles and divided into both light and dark, is impacted by the twelve winds depicted by clouds. The twelve winds correspond to the twelve points on the compass, which encircle the globe in the fashion of the IAAP. The interplay of the twelve winds upon each other and upon the whole will influence the direction of the sphere.
