| |
− | We will instigate 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.

| |
− | '''Parasitic''' = 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."

| |
− |
| |
− | 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.
| |
− |
| |
− | The
modular
development
of
forms, capable
to
adapt
to
the
built
environment
but at the same time disruption existing flows,
provides
easy
and
low‐cost
solutions
for
extending
and rejuvenating architectural
space.

| |
− | We will engage with the idea of a responsive and interactive architecture through a demountable, reploy-able and recyclable structure.
| |
− |
| |
− | For this reason we have investigated different kind of solid that we can use for an iterative model.

− | <div style="float:left; width: 330px;">[[File:Oc.gif|300px]]</div> The solid that we have chosen to investigate the creation of iterative structures is the truncated octahedron.
| |
− |
| |
− | In solid geometry the truncated octahedron is an Archimedean polyhedra of the thirteen, obtained by truncating the cusps regular octahedron.
| |
− |
| |
− | He has 14 regular faces, of which 8 hexagonal and 6 square edges 24 of his 36 separate hexagonal face of a square and 12 hexagonal faces two separate, and each of its 24 vertices contribute a square face and two hexagonal faces.
