"Telling how he’s found locations, envisioned scenes within them, and used drawings to build those scenes, Scott offers an insight into the look and feel of his own work and useful advice to fellow creators, whether or not they work in a visual medium. His inspiration begins with an activity as simple — but nonetheless a source of “great enjoyment” — as looking at industrial landscapes out the window of a car. "

"Their job is also to acknowledge that passengers will spend the majority of the flight in their seats, and to make that experience better. In the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which was also designed by Teague, strategic use of natural and LED lighting, as well as more efficient design of overhead space, mean travelers have a sense of spaciousness even while buckled in. “I like to say that every seat is a window seat on the Dreamliner,” Dowd gently boasts. Windows on the 787 are 65 percent larger than on a standard airplane, and mounted higher in the fuselage. Whereas normally the top of the window is flush with the seat, Dreamliner windows rise seven inches above it, so that even from the aisle, you can see out. The windows are also shade-free—embedded instead with an electrochromic material that takes the window itself from transparent to opaque."

Very awesome and inspirational work...

"This paper will discuss the motivation behind the building=yes project, its technical implementation and shortcomings as well as future directions. It also addresses the increasingly large number and role of community-driven bespoke registries of cultural artifacts. The fact the Internets make it possible for people to self-organize around a common interest effectively collapses the costs usually associated with production and distribution; if communities of amateurs don't feel like they have any avenues to participate in established projects or institutions, then they can and will just do it themselves."
