Abstract

A parasitic building can attach to its host from the outside, via its facades and roofs, or it can
coexist within the host. Just as parasitic infections maintain their continuity by infecting
another living organism, a parasitic building also infects another host through Co-evolutionary
Interaction. At this stage, a process occurs in which the parasitic building, the host building,
and the spaces and places in the urban fabric in which it is located are continuously defined.
This study aims to reveal the findings related to the dynamic structure of the Co-evolutionary
Interaction project process in defining spaces and places. The originality of this study lies in
its integration of parasitic architecture, co-evolutionary interaction processes, and AI-based co
evolutionary interaction processes within a holistic framework. The study is expected to
contribute to the literature and practical applications in this field.
