Parasitic Architecture
Architecture that attaches to or inhabits existing urban structures, creating new functions within established environments.
Parasitic architecture repurposes existing buildings and infrastructure as hosts for new programs and spaces. Rather than demolishing or replacing, this approach adds layers of intervention that coexist with the urban fabric.The community explores adaptive reuse strategies, modular insertions into city systems, and interventions that transform transit infrastructure, heritage buildings, and public spaces into multifunctional environments that serve contemporary needs.
