Parasitisk påbyggnad

En parasit på husväggen.

Konstnären Mark Reigelman, som arbetar med arkitekten Jenny Chapman och ingenjören Paul Endres, skapade en rustik stuga och installerade den som en parasit på en stor byggnad i San Francisco. Synd bara att ingen bor i den.

…The structure, which measures approximately W7 x D8 x H11 feet, takes on a 19th-century architectural style. constructed from vintage building materials - it has a welded aluminum frame, with an exterior finished with 100 year-old reclaimed barn board from ohio - the dwelling is meant to be an homage to the romantic spirit of the western myth and a commentary on the arrogance of westward expansion. three curtained windows, allow the interior space of the petite abode to be seen day and night, standing as a lonely beacon in the city's dense landscape. 3 x 4 foot solar panels located on the rear roof, charge during daylight hours in order to illuminate the cabin's interior by night. weighing over 1000 lbs.
