In the winter semester of 2020, pupils and students, supervised by a team of lecturers from the TU Wien led by Korinna Lindinger (Research Unit Sociology), developed and built three temporary spatial experiments in a ping-pong design process based on their experiences and visions of the school gate. From January 30, 2020, they will nest temporarily in the Bildungsgrätzl.

In Greek antiquity, the parasite was initially regarded as a guest, a table companion who was not necessarily invited. But who tells new things, brings information and stories. In the communication theory of Michel Serre, he also stands for open-ended irritations and encounters.

"The parasitic first represents a disturbance within the system, it stimulates changes and shifts order relations [...]. Parasitic procedures are often temporary in nature [...]. They do not necessarily have to be subversive, but can also enter into symbiotic collaborations." (Sabine Fabo 2007: 52)
