I was meeting a client at a famous museum’s lounge for lunch (fancy, I know) and had an hour to kill afterwards so I joined the first random docent tour I could find. The woman who took us around was a great-grandmother from the Bronx “back when that was nothing to brag about” and she was doing a talk on alternative mediums within art.

What I thought that meant: telling us about unique sculpture materials and paint mixtures.

What that actually meant: an 84yo woman gingerly holding a beautifully beaded and embroidered dress (apparently from Ukraine and at least 200 years old) and, with tears in her eyes, showing how each individual thread was spun by hand and weaved into place on a cottage floor loom, with bright blue silk embroidery thread and hand-blown beads intricately piercing the work of other labor for days upon days, as the labor of a dozen talented people came together to make something so beautiful for a village girl’s wedding day.

What it also meant: in 1948, a young girl lived in a cramped tenement-like third floor apartment in Manhattan, with a father who had just joined them after not having been allowed to escape through Poland with his pregnant wife nine years earlier. She sits in her father’s lap and watches with wide, quiet eyes as her mother’s deft hands fly across fabric with bright blue silk thread (echoing hands from over a century years earlier). Thread that her mother had salvaged from white embroidery scraps at the tailor’s shop where she worked and spent the last few days carefully dying in the kitchen sink and drying on the roof.

The dress is in the traditional Hungarian fashion and is folded across her mother’s lap: her mother doesn’t had a pattern, but she doesn’t need one to make her daughter’s dress for the fifth grade dance. The dress would end up differing significantly from the pure white, petticoated first communion dresses worn by her daughter’s majority-Catholic classmates, but the young girl would love it all the more for its uniqueness and bright blue thread.

And now, that same young girl (and maybe also the villager from 19th century Ukraine) stands in front of us, trying not to clutch the old fabric too hard as her voice shakes with the emotion of all the love and humanity that is poured into the labor of art. The village girl and the girl in the Bronx were very different people: different centuries, different religions, different ages, and different continents. But the love in the stitches and beads on their dresses was the same. And she tells us that when we look at the labor of art, we don’t just see the work to create that piece - we see the labor of our own creations and the creations of others for us, and the value in something so seemingly frivolous.

But, maybe more importantly, she says that we only admire this piece in a museum because it happened to survive the love of the wearer and those who owned it afterwards, but there have been quite literally billions of small, quiet works of art in billions of small, quiet homes all over the world, for millennia. That your grandmother’s quilt is used as a picnic blanket just as Van Gogh’s works hung in his poor friends’ hallways. That your father’s hand-painted model plane sets are displayed in your parents’ livingroom as Grecian vases are displayed in museums. That your older sister’s engineering drawings in a steady, fine-lined hand are akin to Da Vinci’s scribbles of flying machines.

I don’t think there’s any dramatic conclusions to be drawn from these thoughts - they’ve been echoed by thousands of other people across the centuries. However, if you ever feel bad for spending all of your time sewing, knitting, drawing, building lego sets, or whatever else - especially if you feel like you have to somehow monetize or show off your work online to justify your labor - please know that there’s an 84yo museum docent in the Bronx who would cry simply at the thought of you spending so much effort to quietly create something that’s beautiful to you.

that anti-piracy commercial from the 2000s but every time they say piracy they’re instead talking about eating pussy

"you WOULDN'T eat pussy like a rabid animal" "you WOULDN'T suck on their clit while on your knees" "you WOULDN'T slurp up every drop of their cum" "EATING. PUSSY. LIKE THAT. IS ILLEGAL."

Role of Aesthetics and Functionality in Commercial Drafting

In the world of commercial drafting, the balance between aesthetics and functionality is not just a goal, it's a necessity. Whether designing a modern office building, a retail space, or a multi-use commercial complex, the success of a project depends upon the seamless integration of these two elements. A design that is visually appealing but lacks practical functionality can lead to inefficiencies and costly adjustments. Conversely, a purely functional space with no regard for aesthetics can diminish the user experience and fail to attract or retain tenants or customers.

Brand Identity and Perception

For many businesses, the physical environment is an extension of their brand. A well-designed space can communicate a company's values, culture, and commitment to quality. Aesthetic elements such as color schemes, materials, and lighting all contribute to creating a memorable impression on clients and visitors.

User Experience and Satisfaction

Aesthetics influence how people feel when they occupy a space. Comfortable, visually pleasing environments can boost employee morale, enhance productivity, and increase customer satisfaction. For example, incorporating natural light, greenery, and open spaces can create a more inviting atmosphere.

Competitive Advantage

In commercial real estate, aesthetics can be a significant differentiator. A unique, attractive design can make a property stand out in a crowded market, giving it an edge in attracting tenants or buyers. This is particularly important in retail, where the visual appeal of a space can directly impact sales.

The Role of Functionality in commercial drafting plan

Efficient Space Utilization: Functionality is at the heart of commercial drafting. It involves the strategic layout of spaces to ensure that they serve their intended purpose effectively. This includes everything from the placement of workstations in an office to the flow of customers in a retail store. An efficient layout can reduce operational costs and improve workflow.

Compliance with Regulations: Functional design must adhere to local building codes, safety regulations, and accessibility standards. These legal requirements are non-negotiable and must be integrated into the design from the outset. Failing to do so can result in delays, fines, or even legal action.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: Modern commercial spaces are increasingly designed with sustainability in mind. Functional aspects such as energy-efficient HVAC systems, water-saving fixtures, and the use of sustainable materials not only reduce environmental impact but also lower operating costs over time.

Achieving the Perfect Balance

Achieving a balance between aesthetics and functionality in commercial drafting is a complex challenge, but it is crucial for the success of any project.

Collaborative Design Process: Engaging architects, engineers, and interior designers early in the drafting process ensures that both aesthetic and functional considerations are addressed from the beginning. Collaboration allows for creative solutions that marry beauty with practicality.

Prioritize User Needs: Understanding the needs and preferences of the end-users is key to designing spaces that are both functional and appealing. This user-centered approach can guide decisions about everything from layout and materials to lighting and acoustics.

Leverage Technology: Advanced drafting software and 3D modeling tools can help visualize how a design will look and function in the real world. These tools allow for adjustments to be made before construction begins, saving time and resources.

Resdraft has an experienced team of drafters to make a perfect combination of aesthetics and modern drafting of commercial projects. You can get the drafting done for your new commercial building you are planning for within time and according to the florida building code and IRC approvals.

The dash is dead so what I want to say is that in Japan last year there were so many people posting Pierre’s interviews and videos of him honestly sharing his trauma who have/had done nothing but talk shit about him for months and months and that did not sit well with my soul

((You know... The more I think about televangelist Vox... The funnier it is with my headcanon cuz. While I do headcanon him to have been raised Catholic, he also did not pay attention in sunday school in the same headcanon so if he was a televangelist. He was probably going off of what sermons he vaguely remembered and then bullshitting the rest. And the thought has me cackling-))

Having one of those moments of madness where I want to sew a Napoleonic War era British naval uniform (but in green, so that it is actually a Royal Aerial Corps uniform, because I'll be a Brit in the military, but only if I get a dragon friend).

I have, to date, never sewn a garment.
