Parasite is a temporary architectural intervention developed through an emotional mapping of the Rumelihisarı Fortress. Subjective feelings recorded during a site visit were translated into a sequence of enclosed wooden spaces, transforming personal perception into an architectural narrative.



Designed as a lightweight structure that avoids foundations, the project attaches to the fortress without altering it. Varying proportions, openings, and light conditions create a labyrinthine experience reflecting states of compression, darkness, and release. Wrapping around the southern wall, Parasite becomes a temporary spatial layer where emotion, memory, and architecture intersect without permanence.
