DIY Instructions for tents that inflate from building air-vents, L’itinéraire -le magazine des grandes causes, volume XVI, numéro 2, 15 January, 2009
ParaSITE is a construction system for DIY urban shelters heated and inflated by exhaust from building ventilation and heating systems. Warm air from buildings is vented into the atmosphere year round; this resource is abundant only in the city. The temperature inside a ParaSITE is always the same as the environment in the building it is attached to, providing comfortable shelter even in winter. The shelters are designed to be constructed as needed from plastic and tape, readily available materials in the city. Michael Rakowitz frequently works with concepts of nomadism and urban appropriation. He teaches at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Bonjour,
Je trouve l'idée ingénieuse. Bravo.
Cependant je n'oserais jamais proposer cela à des personnes qui sont réellement sans abri. Si on est en mode survie, je ne crois pas que l'on puisse réunir toutes les ressources nécessaires pour fabriquer un tel abri: les 'ingrédients matériels' + le temps + un endroit tranquille, chauffé, à l'abri du vent pour la fabrication...
Conclusion provisoire: un beau passe-temps pour des scoutEs et des aventurierEs, mais solution zéro pour des personnes itinérantes. Qui me convainc du contraire?
Thanks for sharing this useful information.All homes need ventilation—the exchange of indoor air with outdoor air—to reduce indoor moisture, odors, and other pollutants.Inadequate ventilation allows unpleasant odors to linger.

We need to follow certain rules and regulations to avoid these kind of situations, thanks.
