The design proposal started from generating a completely black box, as well as a shape and as a concept, an abstract space that doesn’t breathe towards the outside world but keeps locked within the memory of events.
Parasite
Parasites can function like keystone species, reducing the dominance of superior competitors and allowing competing species to co-exist.
Parasite Studio was awarded the 4th place for Tibutino III Competition – ROME, Italy with Quadrat Project . Here you can find the list of the Jury decision.
The project aims the requalification of an urban area and of some free spaces from the social housing complex comprised in the area Tiburtino III in Rome.
The concept was to generate through the envelope an urban scale landmark that is not only a visual sign, but a real urban mark that has enough force for gathering public. The design has a special symbolic power by the indirect use of the old symbol of the Piraeus harbor – the lion (the statue that is currently in Venice).
The pavilion is thought as being a simple gesture, natural in a dense context. For generating a beacon in a crossing node of the scale of the Victoriei Square, we didn’t design an object but a stage. We folded the stage in order to generate a vertical dynamic and thus we generated the amphitheater pavilion that strives to gather the people walking by. We count on the daily passengers to participate in the spatial modeling of the place.
