Advanced and developing cities around the world are struggling with the shortage of affordable housing. This project is a proposal for solving the housing crisis by challenging the typical student accommodation in Manchester.

My initial aim is to find out how people are attached to their own spaces and then grow a sense of belonging. Parasites inspire me because their biological properties evoke attachment, occupancy, and belonging. For the same reason, the best way to interpret this organism is to make detachable units which can attach to any existing buildings.

As an attempt to make every space beneficial, the parasite units are flexible and adaptable which located in-between two buildings. The existing buildings have become a frame embracing the parasite units. Each unit is divided into four sections, namely washing, eating, resting, and studying. The section sizes shift from student needs and space utilization while the shapes formed by liberating forms and taking away anything extraneous. In other words, their home is designed by their personalities. A new type accommodation has presented by dynamic parasite units.
