Usability messes Composition! :-)

I walk in into a five star hotel, admiring its spic and span environment, cleaned to last detail and arranged with great delicateness and care, with elements exciting all the senses!. I get a chance to appreciate space and form, light and color in its basic interaction. Needless to say, i keep missing the soul and the beauty of the spirit of a human personality, more an expression of a system soaked in capital! Materials crafted to express a visual language defined by some design system! Anyways....its neat, clean, well finished, rightly placed, nicely composed with balance and elegance. The room looks just perfect in facilities and flavor of elements used. Then i start my work!....i rip open my tools, my laptops, my chargers, my mess!......i disturb all the composition to suit my activity! I read, i work on my computer, i use phone, i try to see the view etc...now the room looks like a different space. A used space! Its more usable but lesser composed, organized. We compose and usa
