The Parasite Pyramids aims to increase pedestrian circulation by integrating the project area with the public square. The museum is embedded underground and can be accessed via a ramp provides an uninterrupted circulation opportunity in the square. The project optimizes land use by placing the museum underground. On square, observation tower offers 360-degree panoramic views of Andorra with each triangular vista pyramids on top of the tower and serving as a landmark visible from every corner of the region.
The tower is covered with triangular pyramid parasites that extending from the tower and dispersing throughout the city represent the spread of culture and creativity like roots of a tree. Just as roots anchor a tree and gather nutrients, these structures anchor the museum’s cultural identity while reaching out to enrich every part of the city. These structures, replicated in the square, transform into digital art exhibition spaces through holographic projections in the nights, seamlessly merging physical and digital spaces. Pyramidal installations act like spreading parasites, embedding themselves in different areas, bringing art and inspiration to unexpected places, and engaging with the community. These installations turn streets into galleries, spark conversations, and foster creativity.
