What

We want to create a parasitic architecture. The
 growth process 
of 
the 
parasite 
could be 
inspired
 by
 the 
fungal 
colonies 
and
 is 
based
 on 
the
 rules 
of the
 diffusion‐limited
 aggregation
 extended
 to
 support
 force
 analysis
 and
 maintain structural
 stability.
 The
 modular
 development
 of
 forms, capable
 to
 adapt
 to
 the
 built
 environment
 without
 affecting
 the
 stability
 of
 the existing
 infrastructure,
 provides
 easy
 and
 low‐cost
 solutions
 for
 extending
 and rejuvenating architectural
 space.

How

Parasitic
 architecture
 allows
 the
 creation
 of
 flexible
 structures
,demountable and recyclable, that

 offer
 answers
 to
 the
 problem
 of 
the
 need
 of
 temporary
 accommodations.
 Additionally,
 modular
 systems potentially 
provide 
forms
 with
 great
 complexity 
out
 of
 simplicity. This
 project investigates
 the
 evolution
 of
 self‐sustained
 parasitic
 structures
 that evolve
 by
 creating
 aggregation
 forms
 well
 adapted
 to
 their
 hosts.
