747-8, INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS

The American Red Cross meets the needs of the worlds most vulnerable communities by taking action. The project was to use a means of transportation, such as a 747-8 aircraft to be able to go overseas and help as many people in a disastrous situation as possible. By using form driven models, space planning skills, and design development processes, this design was able to provide for hundreds of victims if needed, while still allowing those hurt or injured to feel relaxed in such a stressful environment.
