A School Model Inspired by The Tower of Babel
The Tower of Babel is a structure that has come to represent a vast pool of spiritual and theological imagery over the course of its
history. The school we designed has seven stories like the original building and carries elements from its myths such as multiculturality
and humanity’s progress. Also taking inspiration from Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs, we decided to arrange the themes from the
bottom to the top in chronological order.

meeting one’s full


Self- potential in life
actualization
respect, status, strength, self-
Esteem esteem

friendship, intimacy, family,


Love and Belonging connections

Safety security, health, finances

food, sleep, water The Tower of Babel by Pieter Brueghel (1565)


Physiological Needs
The second story aims to educate students on subjects related to the
economy and trade with a hands-on approach. It serves as a place to help
improve their psychomotor and social skills.
The fourth story is a place to celebrate all the
different cultures and languages of the world. It
also represents the myth of the Tower of Babel
being the birthplace of language diversity.
The uppermost story signifies humanity's vision for its future. Its purpose is
to inspire the students' curiosity and provide a glimpse of the days ahead.
