Precedent: PARA-CITY

Another building of inspiration. Ruwan introduced me to this design. Essentially directing me into the idea of buildings that parasitically latch onto the negative space.

--- allowing public activity on the ground city level to still occur.
--- Bringing a new dimension to the city.
--- Although I find this design extremely interesting, I question the accessibility of such design, and the ease of use/function. What scenario have they designed this for??
--- It is interesting the way in which this entity feeds off its hosts (the skyscrapers) -- in this respect does the form act as a connection between skyscrapers??

‘With ever-increasing densities and changing programs,’ he [Somnath] writes, ‘Para-city grows in the entire three-dimensional space of its host: the existing skyscrapers of the present urban landscape’ [BLDGBLOG].

‘The system is imagined with an implicit geometric intelligence capable of being subject to or mediated by genetic algorithms to constitute evolutionary structures that enable its growth in complex environments to attain an optimum level of syntactic adaptability’
