Site Plan
Longitudinal Section
The underground passageway
facilitates easier access from
one side of the street to the
other (so between The natural
History Museum and The Romanian
Peasant Museum to The geology
Museums which is on the other
side). Underneath the street,
on the sides, are several gift
shops and small restaurants and
cafés. On the right side of
the street ( Geology Museum’s
side), the alley is divided in
two. One branch goes to the
museum and the other one to the
square, where the pedestrian
crossing is. This way, all the
people coming from the square
and from the subway station near
the Government building, have
easy access to the museums and
public space across Kiseleff
street, with no need to stay at
the traffic light and wait for
their turn to cross.
Emergent promenade
The emergent promenade is placed
between 3 museums, the Geology Museum,
the Natural History Museum “Grigore
Antipa” and The Romanian Peasant
Museum, in the center of the city (Piata
Victoriei Square). The museum's lack of
connectivity resulted in this proposal
of a public space, which facilitates
easier access to all the three museums
and creates a pleasant place to rest
and contemplate after the cultural
adventure. The main road that segregates/
separates the museums is all the time
crowded and full either with stationary
cars or with dangerous speedy cars,
which hardens the transition between
the museums.
The promenade consists of an
underground passageway that goes
underneath Kiseleff Street, a terraced
grass platform, a pavilion and several
stands with souvenirs and food.
The pavilion is placed at one end of
the promenade, with easy access from Ion
Mihalache Boulevard. It is made out of
a steel structure, filled with opaque
glass. It serves as an exhibition area,
where several artists can expose their
work.
The terraced grass platform flanks the
alley that goes underneath the street.
It serves as a venue, where people can
sit on the grass or on the public lounge
chairs, relax, read, eat and so on. It
can also serve as a ground for floral
exhibitions during spring and summer.

power_plant
The site that we chose for our project was an abandoned Eastern-Europe-
an thermal power-plant. Our idea was to “re-vitalize” this desolated and
hostile facility by transforming it into a multi-functional tourist attraction,
offering possibilities for exhibitions, concerts and other public events.
We used the clearly defined space between the three chimneys to design
a canopy formed by a branching biomorph structure, which climbs up at
the sides of each chimney, gradually disconnecting itself from them and
spreading out to weave itself with the opposite branches. Our concept
was to manifest the idea of natural re-conquering of deserted industrial
sites, combined with the notions of unleashed natural energy and genet-
ic mutations, caused by a disturbed ecological balance.
Initiated at the base of the chimneys, the structure climbs up their surfac-
es, while being restricted to grow only on a certain interval of the surface,
which is facing the inner space. Using a probability manipulating func-
tion, we managed to define the trend of how the structure disconnects
from the chimneys, increasing the probability for the disconnection in a
linear fashion with the increasing height of the branches. The simulation
of chaotic natural behavior was achieved further through randomizing
the U-position of the branch nodes while still connected to the surface
and through a varying displacement angle when growing free in 3D-
space. We added various special restraints to keep the structure growing
only at a certain height above the ground and only in the boundaries of
the prismatic space, defined by the axes of the three chimneys.
In correspondence with the biomorph growth of the structure, we de-
cided to design the branches as segmented, insect-like tentacles, ending
with a sharp tip, resembling a sting and ironically playing with the notion
of the site’s hostility.
The script was designed in a way that enables a universal application
with only slight corrections in the code. Thus the structure allows for ex-
periments with a wide spectrum of surface constellations.

Performative Morphology
A natural or an artificial material system has a performative morphology when it has the
capacity to change itself and adjust to external and internal factors through morphological
variation.
It can be seen especially in natural systems that they have a high level of differentiation
and a high degree of morphological variation which is achieved with minimal material
input.
In addition to the broadening of the typological environments, the research and
development of new materials that are based on a bionic concept expands in the
pavilion design. The intricate and precise geometric designs of the diatoms silica cell
walls is the concept and leading “strategy” in the development of the pavilion. Ranging
from regular forms of translucent cast resin for the roof to irregular forms for the walls,
the creation of a new substance called ‘foam’ manifests the most radical redefinition of
surface and material.
Foam is a Synthetic resin cast of an aggregate condition between solid and void. It is a
both irregular and regular structure of diatom-like consistency that can be cast in stages
from hard to soft and from transparent to opaque. It forms a substance out of which
objects can be build, but also entire spaces can be carved out, itself an interpretation of
solid and void.
The development started with a biological research on the diatoms and understanding
the way the valves are formed and why they have this shape that gives them so much
protection and stability against different predator. Analysing the overall design of the
valve,thevisualeffectofthisbacklittextureseemedtobeveryintriguing,so anextensive
search was initiated to recreate this shape in 1:1 scale. Many tests and prototypes were
handmaded in order to test hole sizes, percentages of openness, translucencies, depths,
colors, resistance etc.
Simultaneously, mass production- and 3-d computer modeling techniques were
investigated that could help translating the properties of the handcrafted prototypes
and all technical requirements into the final product. Methods from Stereolithography
to CNC controlled milling processes and specific casting techniques were studied and
found to be appropriated for this design.
A series of material tests were made in models of both small and real size scale. Gypsum
poured around balloons would have been the cheapest solution but proved to have
really low stability and resistance. Wax would have been easy to work with because of
the quick solidification but was also not stable. At the end, synthetic resin seemed to
have all the necessary properties . It was easy to work with, while it’s fluid and can be
molded in every shape, when it hardens it becomes really strong and it can resist to
both high compression and tension forces.
Digital methods were used to study which was the perfect arrangement of the
components,whichwouldhavetheminimalamountofsubstanceandwhichwouldform
the densest cluster. Furthermore, to see how stable the structure would be, simulations
of material compression and analysis of compression graphics were performed.
THE OUTER LAYER
The external (upper) bounding layer, which separates the contents of the chamber from the surrounding medium (water), is perforated by a few
to many holes. Through these holes physiological exchange of material can take place. In most cases these holes are arranged into fields (“velum”)
according to specic patterns.
PRINCIPLES
MULTIPLE LAYERS
THE INNER LAYER
THE LATERAL LAYER
The lateral bounding layers of the chamber are formed by the ac-
cumulation of similar compartments in one plane during which
process the cortical protoplasm between them is squeezed out.

In a close-packed arrangement, the polyamine
microdroplets form a hexagonally arranged
monolayer within the flat SDV.(fig. A)
The aqueous interface between polyamine
droplets in assumed to contain the silica
precursors and to promote silica formation.
Thus, the precipitating silica necessarily creates
a honeycomb-like framework. Fig. B shows a
scanning electron microscopy image of a cell
wall in its early stage of biogenesis.
Clearly, a large hexagonal framework is the first
structure observed. Silica formation consumes
a defined fraction of the polyamine population
by co-precipitation.
This fact was assumed to cause a dispersion
of the original organic droplets by segregation
into smaller droplets. Guided by the newly
created water/polyamine interfaces, silica
continues to precipitate, thereby consuming
another fraction of the polyamine population.
Next, the remaining part of the original organic
droplet breaks up into a maximum number of
smaller droplets, again creating new interfaces
for silica deposition. This scenario produces
the second hexagonal framework.

Membrane and cable-net systems are exceptional for
their capacity to span with minimal amounts of mate-
rial, while defining the boundaries of a space through the
delicate treatment of transmitted light.
Materiality is a critical characteristic in defining an ar-
chitecture as a system - a system in structural stability,
energy modulation, and spatiality. It therefore stands
that it should be pursued as an initial parameter of the
process of design generation. A variation of prototypes
allowed to observe the performance according to ten-
sion loads, geometry and material. Purpose-built algo-
rithms in Rhino and Processing got tested and simu-
late and visualize fundamental material and physical
properties. They are tuned for generating the behavior
of tension-active-systems and to allow for rapid but
approximate form generation, in coordination with
precisely constructed physical models.
The exacting work balanced between both the physi-
cal and computational domains was aspired. With the
computational process, it is important to understand
the correlation between the computed data and its
physical manifestation. With simulations of material
behaviors, it is evermore critical to calibrate the infor-
mation produced in the digital domain with that man-
ufactured in the physical domain.
The final design module consists of four cone cutouts.
Two pieces at a time were exactly geometrically equal,
but rotated by 180 degrees. The shape emerges via
three interconnections on each side and forms a tube
in tube geometry with slots. So the effect of reduction
which the conic parts bring with gets neutralized and
the module is balanced. The moire pattern shows dif-
ferent overlapping effects according to the angle of
view of the observer. Three components are connected
to a multiple object. Each joined module is mirrored
on the X-axis. The tension system acts as a whole and
occurred forces affect each string and get derived via
the full network.
First two models.
The role of our first experiment was to get familiar with the general behavior of tension-active mesh
systems, to observe the way they are behaving under different forces, the way the geometry changes due
to the length of the segments and the different types of knots.
The third model is made out of a
different type of material: polyethylenic
isolation pipe, cut in small stripes. The
goal was to see how the same structure,
but made out of a less elastic material,
reacts to the same amount of force.
The result was as expected - the
structure broke.
The fourth model is also made out
of a different material: plastic pipe, cut
in small stripes.This time the material
is stronger, more resistant that the
foam and it has the ability to come
back to it’s original shape.
The problem in this model were
the connections.Because of the rigid
material, it was impossible to connect
4 stripes close to each other. That was
the reason for the less accurate result
of it’s behaviour when it was tensioned.
After the tests with different materials, i moved forward
and changed the geometry to a more complex one.
The new shape is made of 4 surfaces, connected in
several points (as shown in the sketches nearby). I tryed
now to work with surfaces, instead of meshes, to see if
the structure is good enough in this configuration.

Each component consists of four
conic pieces. Two of them create
the half component.The 2 halfs
are rotated 180 degrees one from
another.
The effect of reduction which
the conic parts bring with gets
neutralized and forms a balanced
shape. The whole mesh becomes
stiff.
“Tubeintube”bringsacomponent
with two layers.Both tubes share
the same anchor points and edges.
The few inner connections between
them keep the component clear and
manageable. At the same time both
tubes are open to the observer’s eye
and are distinguishable.
The size of the components and
amount of patterns in a mesh are
adjustable with Processing. Same
counts for the start- and end-radii
of the tubes.

We exported it then in Rhino,

length of the strings (according to
its elasticity factor)

WHERE?
On the Blind walls,on the unused walls and on the windowles sections of the blocks.
WHY ?
Because there are too many dead sites and empty walls in the urban area.
People are only complaining that there are no more free (horizontal)
sites in the city center, but did they ever raised their eyes and see
how many of them are on the vertical?!
WHO??
Are you wondering who's gonna live in such a perched house-unit?: the poor
people (the ones in over booked rooms, or ilegalresidents),homeless people,
students, young people, flood victims, artists.. and in factanyone !
HOW?
It's simple = self-sufficient house-unit. The Parasite is autonomous; it produces
it's own energy with ecological means: photovoltaic pannels, wind
farms, it collects and purifies waste water from the "host-house" and
from the rain. It doesn't affect at all the host-wall, due to it's light,
mobile, yet temporary structure.
People nowadays are not found to a specific PLACE / SITE anymore.The mobile
nature of these capsules gives them a lack of engagement to the site.
HOW IT "LIVES"/ FUNCTIONS :
THE URBAN PARASITE can be
employed as a mediator between the changes in
society on the one side and the urban systems
on the other. Therefore, the parasite can be
used to stimulate and accommodate spontaneous
processes and informal initiatives. This is
achieved because the parasite provokes, explores
and breaks open both the physical and mental
boundaries in order to offer opportunities for
the elusive and new propositions. It is a clear
sign or symbol of a desire, of an urban problem,
of a hidden possibility existent in society.
A parasite is an organism that grows, feeds and
sheltered by its host while contributing nothing
to the host’s survival. Therefore parasitic
architecture can be defined “as an adaptable,
transient and exploitive form of architecture
that forces relationships with host buildings
in order to complete themselves.
The PARASITE can also be seen as a political
move that seeks the densification of the city
through low-cost construction targeting a young
and unattached client.

The Parasite sits on two steel pil-

building. It slides up and down on
these rails, according to the resi-
dent's will.
To enter the capsule, you have to
"call" the house down, using a
remote control. The capsule slides
down,a staircase comes out, and
people can get inside. Than the cap-
sule goes up, at the best position
(with the most sun light and
wind).It lockes itself in this posi-
tion and starts to "live" by opening
its solar pannels, turning on the
wind mills and in case of rain,

OVERRIDE - To counteract a ‘normal’ operation (an automatic control).
‘OverRideCity is a two half City typology. One half is made of stone,
marble and concrete; houses and institutions that have endured
throughout time and tell us where we come from; and one half up
above, constantly moving towards the future. You can’t predict where it
is going...you just know it reflects the rythm society changes. The rythm
YOU change.’
Time for questioning
Throughout time, cities proved being humans’ greatest invention, nest
MOST OF THE TIME WE ARE ON THE RUN, AND IN SEARCH OF A NEW
HOME, A NEW JOB, A NEW SPOUSE.
CAN THE CITIES’ BUILT INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPLY THE TYPE OF FLEXIBILITY
AND CONNECTIVITY PEOPLE NEED?
One reply: traffic jams.
Proposal
Given an existing, fixed infrastructure from which we cannot live
apart - being our past; our sense of identity, perteinance and one
for progress and (statistically) best, most sought-after living place; Through
connectivity and gatherness they make us richer, smarter, healthier and
happier. Nontheless, not just once; not accidental, have confirmed urbanities
proven to supply poor living environment for it’s occupants - due to confining
urbanism, poor service infrastructure, local social phenomena and so forth.
The matter is too complex to define.
XXI st century and Postmodernity have brought into discussion a different
aspect of urban inhabiting: globalization and mobility. People are, now,
far less linked to a place (as they are far less linked to tradition), than ever
before. The rush after facilities and opportunities comes into the spotlight,
while living space becomes a procedural detail: space is rented and shared
for a short period of time.
guarantee of remembering in a world of constant change - this
projectenvisionsthescenarioofoverridingexistingurbanenvironment
with a secondary layer of inhabiting: an elevated dynamic city
infrastructure working as counter weight for the lower traditional city.
OverRideCity. It is designed as a “skeleton”, “serving” infrastructure
on which living units can automatically slide, spin and elevate,
gather into compact buildings or spread across, according to market
demands of consumer society.
It is organised in modules, each designed to relate to particular target
areas from the lower traditional city (from economic , real estate,
environmental p.o.v etc.)

Each module is made of huge vertical feet ( 4 elevator structures, called
“Gates”, or “Boarding Gates”) holding the different-configuration
horizontal tracks and two other “static” floors:
1. the open-space public floor, holding gardens, restaurants and pubs,
commercial and other leisure facilities (“The world above”)
2. the hidden services floor, where “back-stage” activities take
place (“The world below”)- unit maintenance, health services, local or
governmental institutions etc.
Though seemingly disrupted from site (maybe ubiquitous)
OverRideCity is just a different type of spread. Accordingly to the sites’
qualities (type of public it attracts; type of public decides to settle) it
will develop vertically or low-rise, with a high degree of nomadism or
completely stable.
The ideea is not to spread more, but densify existing unfunctional urban
areas.
Implementation
The two infrastructures should behave as a whole. By building a flexible
infrastructure to counterbalance (functionally) the existing traditional
city, urbanism directives can be updated and applied in real time. And
it all can be done by means of high power servers controlling track
availability and usability.
