The
Pa-Ra-Site is
treating genetic anomalies or after birth mutations and amputations not as
"flaws" or taboos, but as a chance for redesign /
optimization through artificial members and prosthetic procedures.
Since Le Corbusier and the modular system was used as a main type for modernist
building, where structure, skin and circulation are three independent units
placed together to create the building.
In this
studio my project was mostly an investigation based on theoretical readings
(Hive minds; Parasite; fold, bodies, and blobs …)as an approach to a an
architecture where skin, structure, and circulation start to intertwine between
each other’s and to work within one system where one can never exists without
the others, a Body.
Based on
aggregation, deformation, stimulation and accumulation of one unit [1]
(genetics similarities as Greg Lynn cited in his book), a system of
accumulation generate the texture through the assembly of this unit.

- This unit is generated based on combining circulation, skin and structure
within the context. (Circulation Core of Bernard Khoury’s building in Mar
