TED Talks | Airbus Vision: A More Sustainable Future of Aviation

Designer Bastian Schaefer shares the Airbus vision of future jet plane design inspired by bone, specifically the strength, flexibility, and natural form of the skeleton to accommodate the needs of the world's "growing" population. Imagine taking flight in an airplane full of light and space designed and built by generative parts of a 3D printer.

Architectural Visualization

Architectural rendering, or architectural illustration, is the art of creating two-dimensional images or animations that reveal the attributes of a proposed architectural design. Renderings of this type are also referred to as photo-real renderings and are computer generated.

These renderings are best used to present life-like images of the design intent and/or concept to your client. In doing so, it helps the client visualize your design and aids in making design related decisions by raising necessary and important questions well before the construction phase commences.

Architectural visualization is an exciting and innovative way to communicate your design ideas and who you are as a designer. Getting your idea across never looked so good!

Designer Introduction

Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Adapt & Design website.

My name is Amanda M. Vargas and I am an interior design student inspired and driven by the beauty of design.

Sharing in the National Geographic Society idea to frame what matters, I envision exploring and observing cultural and environmental concerns in order to find solutions for such matters through the means of design.

My direction as a designer is truly influenced by the world around me and my deep concern for the welfare and well being of all living things, especially that of tomorrow's future...today's children.

Impacting a life by ensuring a better quality of life through design is ultimately priceless to me in whole, and as a designer.

My mission in this profession, "Preserve the world, protect our youth, and promise the future."

Thank you for your time in reading and enjoy the website!
