Construction Syndrome

"Construction Syndrome" explores the phenomenon of architectural duplication, capturing rows of identical houses that have proliferated across various cities as symbols of modern urban development. My journey began in my own city, where the repetitive patterns of these homes sparked a fascination with their uniformity and what it signifies about contemporary living spaces. As I expanded my search to different cities, the project grew into a broader examination of how modernity molds urban landscapes into monotonous arrays that prioritize efficiency and economic practicality over individuality. This collection of photographs not only documents the visual sameness imposed by modern construction practices but also invites viewers to reflect on the cultural and social implications of living in environments where uniqueness is supplanted by the standardization of habitats. 'Construction Syndrome' is both a critique and a mirror to a global trend shaping the skylines of the future. 

To underscore the industrial nature of this encroachment, I’ve chosen to render these images as negatives. This choice not only transforms the familiar into something unsettling and alien but also serves as a symbol of the reproducibility of modern development endlessly replicable, much like a photograph duplicated in countless editions.
