Rooftop Architectural Parasites
 We've run across a couple of "rooftop parasite" items this week; at Archinect regarding an article regarding rooftop additions in Manhattan, and at Life Without Buildings where they posted a book called The Green House which features a project called P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. (shown right) designed by Dutch architects Korteknie Stuhlmacher.
The idea of parasitic additions and rooftop interventions holds a certain appeal; from habitable appendages to planted roofs to watertanks, etc. And it got us thinking about some projects we have seen before, a few of which we have listed. Tell us about others.

There is a particular warped-plane penthouse apartment addition in Dublin's Temple Bar area whose architect I forgot and pictures I can not find... Anyone? Anyone?
Anyway... others:
