While they’re still called “blueprints,” why aren’t they blue anymore? And why were they blue to begin with? #blueprints #cyanotype #design #architecture
“Blueprints” are dead, but the word refuses to die.
Many still say blueprint even though modern drawings are printed in black and white or shared digitally. The old process that actually made drawings blue with white linework disappeared decades ago, but the term stuck around.
The name for this a skeuonym, which is a word that survives long after the original object or process is gone. Just like “dialing” a phone… even though nobody has dialed anything in years.

Structural engineers vs. Architects in a nutshell
It’s the classic battle: The Architect wants it to look like it’s floating, and the Structural Engineer just wants it to stay on the ground. 🏛️📐 One minute you’re debating load-bearing walls, and the next, you’re sitting in silent judgment of each other's blueprints.
But hey, despite the "constructive" criticism, we know that neither side can survive without the other. If you’re the one holding the structure together while everyone else worries about the paint color, we’ve got the perfect tee for you! Check out our collection of engineer-approved gear in the bio. 👕🔥

Blueprints don’t lie. Every line, every measurement, every detail - we know exactly what it takes to bring this vision to life. ⭐️

Now that everyone is back safe — let’s talk about what I’ve been working on.
This is something different. No abstract fields, no noise landscapes. These are blueprints of spacecraft that don’t exist — but could.
Each drawing is generated by a set of geometric rules: a grid layer, dimension lines, callout markers, side rockets, wings, structural details — all placed by an algorithm, all drawn by the machine with real ink on paper. Two views per sheet, top and side, like an actual technical drawing. A bill of materials at the bottom that references parts that were never manufactured.
The ships are fictional. The drafting language is real.
More coming soon.

Most floor plans look fine on paper, but very few actually live well. This house is coming together exactly how it should, it flows, functions, and just feels good.
I literally look at house plans, and layouts for fun as a builder. I’ve studied a lot of them over time. This one stood out so I chose it for our 2026 spec home build. It is 3168 sqft, 4 bed, 4.5 bath, and a dedicated home office!
Beautiful transitional home designed thoughtfully by yours truly.
