The parasites seek to make habitable a minimum space of 8m2. It is a mobile cubicle, designed to climb into the city and get electricity and water from buildings. By means of a system similar to renting, you could give access to electricity and water for a small quantity of money. The parasite loads the tanks and moves to its next destination.
Urban parasites represent a vision of the near future. It arises from the problem of the current overpopulation in cities, especially in Asia, and aims to offer a solution oriented to certain social groups: painters, illustrators, philosophers, writers, sculptors... those who could continue their lives in these parasites.
