Temporal Parasite(s) represents an exploration into how architecture and community engagement can activate public spaces, making them flexible and not built for just one intention, but for a variety of programs and iterations. The parasite adapts to and grows around existing host buildings in three culturally distinct urban settings in Tokyo and Mumbai. The host allows the parasite to evolve, grow, and change according to the changing needs of its users over time and the needs of its environment. The spaces are designed with respect for the local architectural language and material heritage, where each intervention is a reflection of the city’s cultural identity and contributes to the larger contemporary urban landscape.
