FURTHER PARASITE RESEARCH

Definition of parasite architecture:
Parasitic architecture can be defined as an adaptable, transient and exploitative form of architecture that forces relationships with host buildings in order to complete themselves.Parasites cannot sustain their own existence without siphoning energy from the surplus supply demonstrated in host buildings.

Below are two examples of parasite architecture, i relly liked both of these examples and they helped to inspire my stragety.
