lebbeus woods, the exemplar of parasitic design.

Lebbeus Woods has been referred to by this class(through it's wiki page) as the exemplar for parasitic design, this along with the fact that my work has been referred to as a similar style to Woods has ignited an interest with his work. Woods' designs have very little connection to reality and no interest in becoming built forms.

The above picture is a design of woods' that i feel particular correlates into my original sail designs, from the exposed structures to the sail canopies. and another here through the cocoon-like shape of this design.

These designs are the inspiration behind the parasitic nature of the cocoon of knowledge.
