Parasite

The paraSITES by American artist Michael Rakowitz are custom-built inflatable shelters designed for homeless people that attach to the exterior outtake vents of a building's heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. The warm air leaving the building simultaneously inflates and heats the double membrane structure. The paraSITES were distributed to over 30 homeless people in Boston and Cambridge, MA and New York City.(from Space craft:fleeting architecture and hideouts )
