Seems like something in the image needs to be exploited in order to repeat elements across the page. I don't think just the color red is doing it for me. maybe the scaffolding can be used to layer across the image with blending modes to unify the image? The lack of distinct edges could also be looked at as bad craft? really don't like the grey at the top? Overall your blending modes are extremely harsh, with high contrast images with no greys? My tastes and aesthetic runs the opposite so this direction tends to leave me cold. again, it is coming of as bad craft to me ( a distinct range of values is one of the building blocks we "usually" look for in an image. Sometimes rules are broken to emphasize concept--is this what you are doing? A completely different direction than layering would be to create a "real" (but impossilbe physicaly) building using completely different parts that in a real world would never go together. Maybe a fool the eye appearance of a real building that exists, but looks strangely and surreallyt out of place? My suggestion to exploit the scaffolding throughout is an attempt to aleviate the challenge of intergrating and unifying any work that attempts to show a transition from ones side (left ) to another (right). Not an easy feat.
