Concept Description
The work references the Tower of Babel because, much like a jumble of languages, scattered data, and constant vendor changes lead to information loss, missed deadlines, and declining construction quality—from floor to floor.The aesthetic of Baroque, with its drama and contrasts, underscores the closed nature of the construction industry and the absurdity of existing processes.
Parameters
Title: «The Tower of Babel» Format: 30 × 40 cm Resolution and Settings: JPEG 200 dpi Materials and Finish: Printing under 5 mm thick glossy acrylic on an aluminum base, mounted on a concealed chassis
The size was not chosen arbitrarily; for a project like this, taking the largest feasible size makes the most sense—though this statement speaks to both expectations and reality, just as with ambitious building projects lacking a proper workflow. I want the meaning of the image to be conveyed through both its scale and the complexity of its viewing experience.
Connection to Diploma
My final project is dedicated to developing a service for cross-role communication and data management of work zones on a construction site. Therefore, I decided to visualize the industry in a satirical form, which I feel best describes its current state.
