Sample Text	The aim of this study is to share the products of the project in the architectural design studio, in which the dialogue of the architectural product with the urban space is discussed in the context of design approaches in which the space is re-appropriated and given meaning in a parasitic way. In the study, which focused on the products of a 3-week design project in which the subject of parasite architecture was addressed as a space design strategy, the formation of architectural parasites and their spread within the city were analyzed by considering their structural, environmental and experiential contexts, and the reuse potential of the space was questioned. The topic of parasitic architecture, which finds a place in the architectural literature today, describes a flexible, adaptable, temporary but sustainable spatial approach that penetrates existing urban spaces, structures or infrastructure elements by articulating them, and establishes a one-sided utilitarian relationship by taking advantage of them, with the claim of sustaining its own life. While parasite architecture is integrated into the host structure, it defines a new way of existence, both structurally and experientially, by introducing a new program and presenting different functional possibilities. In this context, temporary or nomadic spaces are created as an alternative to architecture's claim of permanence and stability, and the actions that come to life in these spaces give birth to new lifestyles. This study focuses on the contributions of parasitic architecture's design strategy, which makes visible new spatial possibilities that were previously unknown in urban space, to the learning process in the architectural design studio. The purpose, criteria and values of this design strategy, which questions alternative spatial potentials, and the values it reveals on a structural and urban scale, were discussed by 2nd year architecture students, the place suggestions for the parasitic architectural product were determined through the relationship between the program suggestions through the urban spaces they experienced, who the urban users would be, were examined, and how the relationship with the place could be defined through the phenomenon of experience was investigated. This study is an analysis of the outcomes of a three-week architectural design studio project that used the parasitic intervention and appropriation of urban space. as its starting point. The project examined the structural, environmental, and experiential context of parasitic architecture and considered the re-use potential of space. Parasitic architecture has found a place in contemporary architectural discourse as a spatial approach that uses existing urban spaces, structures, or infrastructure and establishes a one-sided utilitarian relationship as a way of existence. Flexibility, adaptability, temporality, and sustainability are the essential qualities of these parasitic structures. While they are attached to an existing structure, architectural parasites add new structural, programmatic, and experiential features. They are new, temporary spaces and new alternatives to the claims of permanence and stability of architecture. This study examines the contribution of parasitic architecture as a design strategy, making visible new spatial possibilities of urban space previously unrecognized. The design projects of second-year architecture students are examined in terms of the design objectives, criteria, and values of architectural parasites on a structural and an urban scale. The projects also addressed how the relationship to a space can be defined through personal experience.
