Residential symbiotics

This project developes a new residential concept, a different approach that examines the relationship between the various spaces that create a residential building. The research focused on parasitic relationships. The research tools of the study were mapping and an examination of the symbiotic relationships, cloning strategies from nature and implementing them on a series of physical models. A Series, which was translated later on to conclusions that led to usuable spatial tools. These tools have been tested on the urban environment. A Stage that allowed the development of a language, and the defenition of the parasitic form. The modern city becomes overcrowded, a condition that requires utilization of the potential lost volumes and spaces existing in the urban tissue. Spaces that generate an opportunity through which a parasitic relationship can grow and develop between the pre existing building and the new building and between man and building. The purpose of the project is to present a concept that derives from a sptial starting point. A concept th allows the creation of a new urban layer and spatial interaction between different public housing buildings and its users. Read Less
