Honouring the past and experience it in the present

Research on the rich history of Pantheon in Rome, Italy found that it was firstly used as a place of worship of the 12 main Roman Gods which forged the Roman DNA.

The parasite has an imposing statue clashing with the host and by using contrast of shape and material this was possible, perfect sphere of the pantheon vs the perfect cube with 12 corners honor the 12 gods. Then we have stone/marble of the pantheon vs re-enforced clear and tinted frosted glass that allows the visitor to experience the parasite and the host on many different views through-out each floor of the parasite or on the ground floor of the host.
