Hutong Parasitic

  • Antonio Lancellotti
By using parasitic means, we try to address the
common problems of premise Dashilar houses
under historic preservation area, such as - small,
broken, loose, empty, chaotic, dark. In the house,
a standardized steel internal parasitic system is
installed, as the support to reinforce the old structure,
which also consists of the internal integrated basis
of function and space. The structure will meet
all functional spaces of the residents’ living in
the complex overlay module, and installed in the
framework of the variability of the formation of an
integrated system. Space partitioning and functional
modules can vary according to the needs of tenants,
by the ways of interaction and a not strengthen
gesture to keep a balance and interflow between
the old environment and a new living environment.
And because of the advantages of the cost and
expandability of this system, it has a large scale of
promotion potential.
