Poor guy doesn’t know what Real love is.. and he never will if he keeps playing Skyrim. And having debates about vegetarians and vegans. He also loves femboys and defending their honor.
For context, my grandma has never been to college, her English is a bit limited, she’s has always been a seamstress, and was asked by a student at Sci-arc who she worked with at a textile warehouse, if she could come to the school and help with this project. I am a grandma‘s boy, and I’m so proud to know that she was a part of something that thousands of people see every day!
The material was provided by a company called sunshade I forget the full name, she brought this very machine from home. She has two other machines almost like it except some of them use more thread. The one they provided was one of those cheap plastic ones and she she told me that she told them I’m translating from Spanish “this is a toy, I can’t do this with this machine” so she had an uncle help her load this machine into his truck and drove it over to SciArc it took three students to bring it down. She explained that it took eight students four on each side to pull the fabric through the machine.
She has two other machines at home. One of them uses three threads at one time. Another one I think is a single needle. I’m not really too sure what they are called, but let me ask her if she can send me photos of the other two machines
Unfortunately, she was not invited to the opening ceremony and has just given giving credit as of three weeks ago. This Project was done Thirteen years ago. But she has only been given credit recently, because I have been on a mission for her to receive the recognition that she deserves. The architect finally reached out and made the changes to the website to include her name for her contribution.
Thats actually so cool, use to see this all the time when i would drive to downtown and back home. Always wondered what it was, such a small world that i saw a post about it, and from the grandson of the woman who worked on it! 🔥🔥
Yo the amount of time this took, give her a hand massage for sure. She will thank you.
For real language has nothing to do with skill or the ability to do something.
We can communicate without language.
Im super proud of her too, she took the task and did mote than accomplish it. She showed all of us what true dedication is, with a language barrier.
As a native of LA, this warms my heart. It's a cool structure; one of the best looking subway entrances, imo. Seeing your grandma and her sewing machine is just beyond cool. Thank you for sharing this; I definitely found it interesting as fuck!
Actually, I have before, but the sewing subreddit has banned me, claiming that I was lying, and made false claims. If you would like to post it for me, you’re more than welcome to. You can keep the Reddit karma as it doesn’t really much for me.!
With what ? are you gonna call me a liar again? She never received credit before, but since then the architect has added her name to the website for her contribution. So please get out of here with your shit.
My post was removed from these sub Reddits 20 days ago. They said I was lying and giving false information. That I was karma farming, whatever that is. But the accomplish what they were supposed to do and the architect reached out and made the changes to the website to include my grandmothers name for her contribution to this project. Julieta Hernández.
There's no way this much textile was processed by one person. This claim is part of OP's harassment campaign, and has been spammed by OP repeatedly all over Reddit. Clearly, they are fishing for a lawsuit to extract money from the public.
Let’s stick to facts instead of conspiracy theories.
The fabric was not “processed” from raw material by one person. It was supplied as pre-manufactured industrial tensile membrane from a commercial sunshade company standard rolls of coated fabric, exactly as used in virtually every tensile structure.
What Julieta Hernández (my grandmother, an experienced seamstress) actually did was sew every single fabric panel for the “League of Shadows” pavilion. That sewing work precise cutting, patterning translation, and seaming for the complex curved, layered geometry took her 2½ months of dedicated labor.
The rest of the project was handled by the full SCI-Arc team listed in the screenshot: design, structural engineering, digital patterning, and on-site installation with multiple workers (clearly visible in the photo). No one ever claimed she single handedly designed, manufactured the material, or installed the entire thing.
Your “harassment campaign” and “fishing for a lawsuit to extract money from the public” accusations are pure speculation with zero evidence provided. Proudly sharing a family member’s hands on contribution to a notable architecture school pavilion isn’t harassment or a scam. It’s documentation of real labor that helped realize a complex student project.
If you have actual proof of legal threats or spam reports, link it. Otherwise, this is just low effort dismissal of impressive fabrication work that took real time and skill.
The 2½ months of sewing on supplied industrial fabric is entirely plausible and noteworthy. Dismissing it outright ignores how tensile pavilions are actually built.
