Parasitic proliferation

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.


Parasiticdefine= having the nature or habits of a parasite or leech; living off another.

Parasitic architecture= an adaptable, transient and exploitive form of architecture that forces relationships with host buildings in order to complete themselves"

"In general terms the parasite has to take up a position within the body, that is, it inserts itself into the spaces, the organs, that the host body provides. As such the grid of the body, its natural contours, boundaries and edges will not be recognized by the parasite. The parasite has to survive within the body and the condition of that survival would be its refusal to recognize lines that mark out pre-existing edges and boundaries, and in refusing specific edge conditions the parasite constructs its own edge conditions, and thus creates new boundaries."
