some ideas

Today’s debate about prospects of existence of independent youth movement (including movement of students-architects) in Belarusian national youth council have put me in a discomfiture.

In Belarus in the near future probably mass pressure upon public and youth independent sector. For this reason for me there is a question on a present role of the BASA in Belarus as unique for today to the professional student’s organization. To disappear and work illegally or to come under influence of authority. And whether the organized movement of students-architects is necessary?

Under that small information on the student’s organizations of architects in Europe I can tell with confidence, that experience which is received by us here, is very unique. And it at all because of a specific political situation. Fathers-founders of the BASA thought about another… But actually it is very difficult to work, when you understand, that you hardly probable not one do something for development of movement of students-architects, when there is no a good example to be guided or compare, when itself it is necessary to develop strategy of work with state, public and business by sector. And then there comes time when you come in impasse and cannot understand sense of all work therefore as nobody can support you. In fact all around is a dust.

The life forces to reflect on many problems.

I think the minus of EASA that it only club. For these years something has not been created essential. The exit on the international level puts new problems to which the assembly cannot be ready as club, informal movement.

It is possible to go all life on parties and to not understand deep sense.

When in 1993 it was created the BASA founders thought that registration EASA in more concrete organizational student’s structure at a level of Europe will soon follow, that movement of students – architects in all Europe will develop more actively. I think, this light idea suffers defeat, the hope disappears, as the spirit disappears also.

I am as the student-architect very much disturbed with movement of students-architects. And I try to understand, that is EASA in a present kind, whether there is a readiness to develop as its future depends on it.

In infinite reflections,
