Midterm / Qualitative analysis + concept / The Pa-Ra-Site / Fady Haddad

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.

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