Independence is not a characteristic of a parasite. A parasitic organism, architecture and biology, depends on a host to survive. Despite being attached to existing buildings, the parasite is mainly in contrast to its surroundings. Whence comes this architecture ? And what sentence it used ? This thesis is an attempt to understand the theory behind the concept of parasitic architecture, using case studies and theories, through the studied principles, we have developed a project that uses the parasitic architecture as a response to real problems. After a structural change already begun with the 4th documenta, in 1972 Harald Szeemann became the only responsible for the first time.

Parasite Perspective – New views of the city

Located between art and architecture, home of the backpack is a sculpture walk-with its own spatial quality: space hovering and informed that looks like a temporary scaffolding and a "minimal sculpture" at the same time.

Universal use this mini home may be attached as an additional space at the front of each residential building. Although it is in its intimacy, it gives the impression of floating above the walls of public space. The cube is pierced with a variety of openings and integrated plexiglass offers unusual perspectives on the city. For its lightness and neutrality without Association, the vacuum box is open to the needs of each user. Some parts of the walls are designed as folding furniture and can be transformed as needed using magnets hidden in an office, on shelves or in housing.

The construction consists of a welded steel cabin, which is fixed by means of the roof steel cables or the front of the existing house. Inside, the cabin is lined with birch veneer, while the outer skin is coated with water-repellent synthetic resin. The house backpack offers a solution of neutral space that anyone can individually acquire. The idea of ​​the house of anarchist tree, made by itself, back to life, although in a very technical version. With its prominent placement, it establishes a direct visual sign. The parasitic structure generates space docking with an existing space and benefiting from its infrastructure.

The Rucksack House offers a way to improve the quality of accommodation on an individual basis. It is also an attempt to explore the boundary between architecture and art. As a backpack, the steel cage coated timber is suspended to steel cables which run on top of the existing building and are anchored in the back cover. Within the cube, one has the impression of “snappier” outside the limits of the current remains in a space filled with light. The elements can be folded down from the wall to form furniture. Developed as a temporary exhibition facility, the volume is not thermally insulated. Further structural measures can be implemented depending on the building fabric concerned.

The Office designed by Parasite architects Studio Za Bor


Use a tight urban site in the heart of Moscow. This building offers a nice alternative to office space downtown, between design and ergonomics. Parasite Office designed by architects Studio Za Bor, uses a tight urban site in the heart of Moscow. This building offers a nice alternative to office space downtown, between design and ergonomics.






The self-taught designer Fernando Abellanas installed a secret workshop under a covered bridge with graffiti in the Spanish city of Valencia , using the concrete substructure to form a roof and walls for the shelter. “In that case, we are not talking of an idyllic hut you find in the woods, but recovered small spaces in the city itself, where you can hide from the hectic pace of city”, said Abellanas. "These are places that, because of their architecture, their location or size, become useless.


The shelf provides a workspace but also stores bedding and a lamp, allowing the home the night.
Wooden panels forming the sides of the structure fold downwardly or outwardly to give Abellanas an unobstructed view of the refuge.

The studio is designed as an urban car, offering a retreat from the bustle of the city while being directly below a busy road.

Floating shelter for the homeless in London

An architect James Fulzer
imagine hosting solutions for the homeless..



A very simple system to use


James Fulzer started from the observation that more and more urban spaces were equipped with railings and sloping surfaces or sharp, to prevent the installation of the homeless. He therefore developed a floating portable shelter, that clings to any building, through two steel pods. A complete space with integrated storage and mattresses would be reached with a ladder. This makeshift housing allow a change in attitudes towards the homeless. We can only encourage this approach.




Extension a cage..



The Baby cage – It was a long time ago ! For the Welfare of baby !







1937


To fresh air to his children was already recommended in the nineteenth century ! Indeed, doctors thought that it meant to strengthen the immune system. They therefore recommended to families living in an apartment to put the baby crib near a window. But some parents have seen further and created cages suspended from their windows ...

The medicine of the time believed that fresh air allowed to strengthen the immune system and increase his health ... And she was right ! Indeed, today, it is proven that the air strengthens the immune system because in contact with virus, bacteria or allergens that fly into the atmosphere, the baby develops antibodies.

But at the time, solutions for baby to air were rustic and wacky. While doctors only recommended to place the cradle of the child near an open window, Some parents have tried the original inventions but dangerous.

for example, Eleanor Roosevelt bought a mesh cage to hang in her window. Precursor of balcony, This system has not only happy given the danger ... Yet, the first commercial patent for a baby cage was filed 1922 Emma Read Spokane. They have even become popular in London in years 1930.

Today, baby stands have disappeared and it is certainly better for the baby's safety.





1934
