Abstract:
In this paper we explore the process of construction, we consider the construc-
tion site as a mediated collaborative environment in which many specialist crafts
and esoteric skills are present and negotiated. Concrete information when pass
onto a construction site becomes part of a fluid morphing object, the validity and
meaning of information can change—or be lost—depending on where and when
it is. We look at current models of construction and actual construction process
and we explore the notion of Carnival as a tool to reconcile the concrete and fluid
aspects to communication dynamics of mediated group working in general and of
construction site practice specifically.
