Core Tectonics - Central Spine Structure

Top Section, Bottom Section. Second Floor and First Floor. Development of the Central core of the 'Parasitic Spine'. Note Ground Floor (threshold between access and entrance spaces) is to be added to model. 

Central Axis. Sectional Exploration. TASK - Identification: Explore internal thresholds, junctions between module structural elements/sections and explore in detail.   


Elevation Perspective.  Longitudinal; direct influence by Story Bridge form & Orientation.

Hanging Form


Interesting perspective for the users of surrounding spaces. 
Hanging (Cinema Pods) pods to be explored, to be added the physical model. Design for gravity x (times) structure mass loading, need to assess implications of hanging forces and resultant loadings to structure. Identification of structural Implication.

Module Model Development






Exploration of Structure and Movie Pods.  Parasitic Architecture                                            Interpretation. Spaces, Modules form the whole.

Revisiting the Folie Context - Human Ideology


Human Molecular Structure. Parasitic Structure.


Brain neurons. Human Ideology. Metaphor for nodes of spatial inhabitance connected in the human psyche. 

Howard Smith Wharves - Site

Abstract Human Psyche Ideology applied to site. Spatial Inhabitance Nodes form city grid. Note this just looks at immediate surrounding context and not wider context but the same idea can be applied.
Aim to establish project 2 as know location in city psyche. The parasite embodies an element in the human mind. Abstract way of looking at what makes up the city context.
