in your mailbox and here

Dear NCs
As some of you might have seen on the blog, I was sending out a call for essays. We would like very much to include your contributions before and during easa. In a way I think I might already start to get on your nerves – but it’s necessary :-) so if you have anything to tell us: send it to “essays (at) easa005.ch”. The mailbox shouldn’t stay empty, otherwise i’m afraid we’ll have to put off our nice event until i find something there :-D

The following letter by Ben who is taking care of the theme together with Cordula (tutorpack authors…) aims at the same direction. It’s about how we can get you started there on EASA. To really make you bring something, we give you an idea for the competition you might have to organise to select your participants. So he writes:

Dear NCs

To have a good basis for both the discussions and the publication, we would like each country to prepare a contribution before EASA starts. It should, in a short and concentrated way (lecture of max. 15 min), deal with a certain aspect of transit/transition in the according country and thus give an impression of the current condition in that country. These contributions, put as little intermezzos inbetween different lectures or evenly distributed throughout the two weeks, will trigger discussions and direct them into a more constructive direction. In written form, they will add very much to the international impact of the EASA publication.

All Forms of presentation are thinkable, of course. It does not have to be the classic front-beamer-presentation (but can also be a discussion or a theatre-play). Whatever seems most suitable according to the theme can be done during the 15 minutes.

This contribution could also be used for selecting participants, especially in countries with too many applicants.

Please send us a short thematic description of your country’s contribution one month before EASA starts, so we can place them into the final program.

Yours
Ben

Or isn’t it interesting to present the transitional situation of your country from your own point of view between Winy Maas and Kees Christiaanse???

If you wonder where to find enough participants, we have the answer ready. There will be a poster available on the website from tomorrow morning, printable on A3, to hang it as an announcement all over your country in all the architecture faculties :-)

In general, I will update the website until tomorrow, some parts get a bit more clear and focused, and new parts (even in a new color) are available. It’s mostly about practical stuff, but as we have a few first applications from Georgia already, maybe we should hurry up a bit… So you’ll find everything about payment details and how your millionaire uncle and cultural institutions of your countries can help us with their money.

So check out the website and get ready for a hot summer! I can only repeat myself: I’m looking so much forward to having you all here soon!!!
