vivax, but cases associated with this parasite will likely require additional treatment. The anti-malaria drug chloroquine is effective against infections caused by P. vivax parasite takes about 10 to 15 days to develop inside a mosquito and become transmissible, meaning the potential spread of malaria may not be immediately noticeable, especially if the symptoms are ignored.
And vivax, some strains can be very non-virulent, so people can be infected and not really realize they’re infected,” said John Adams, professor at the University of South Florida College of Public Health. It is a project made at the intersection of problem-solving and trouble-making.“It can get out of control really quickly if these cases go undetected for long periods of time. While there is an element of invention, of genuine survival strategy applied to this project, it also is presented as an act of desperation, an unacceptable approach to the problem as a design or as a solution. ParaSITE scandalizes the above notions of safety or rescue while simultaneously making use of them. Inflated by the exterior fan ducts of architecture, it provides a new space to occupy, amplifying the harsh reality of life on the street, while offering refuge. ParaSITE is similar, in that it too is a membrane structure relying upon the resistance of air in its use. Looking at the work, one can make a physical association to a parachute, a folding umbrella like fabric device with chords supporting a harness or straps for allowing a person to float down safely through the air from a great height, rendered effective by the resistance of the air that expands it during the descent and reduces the velocity of its fall. But in the context of a nomadic project based on the ephemeral the interpretation must also turn to "guard against situating" or guard against "becoming a site" the nomad moves on, deterritorializing themself. We can interpret this word, both prefix and suffix to mean "guard against a site", the act of holding or occupying a space. The suffix, site, refers to a place or location. The prefix thus has a history in describing protective or preventive devices, or objects related to the tasks of survival and rescue.
Para, when it joins its suffix chute as parachute translates to "guard against falling." The French word for umbrella, parapluie translates to "guard against rain". ParaSITE borrows its prefix from the French definition of para, which translates to English as "guard against". The chosen title, paraSITE, is layered in its meaning, its derivation, and its understanding.
