ABSTRACT
A region is essentially the locus of intersecting perspectives being propagated. Perspectives rise out of one's ambition and so a region can be seen as ‘The ambition of the universe.’ The ambition of an ion to neutralise; the ambition of an animal to survive. The Tower of Babel was chosen as the artefact as it shows the epitome of human ambition and unity through region, religion, and language. The Tower of Babel (in the Bible) was a magnanimous structure commissioned by ‘Nimrod’, great-grandson of Noah; as a way of reaching the heavens. His name itself meant ‘let us rebel’; it was seen as a rebellion against the natural order of the universe that God had set, his ambition if you will. In seeing this god, struck the tower down, dividing man by language and region so that man may never unite and rebel once again. As so, this tower can be translated into a vertical utopian future where climate change takes its toll and man needs land to live on, but not in unity but in harmony; instead, where in the definition of the region is broken down as humanity's collective ambition to survive (Figure 26.1).
