The office where im working at the moment is looking for an architect, my boss asked me if i had any connections with youngs architects from abroad…so i thought it might interest some easa people!
Its quite an uncommon office as we deal the most of the time with projects from others architects, we are specialized in the facades, so imagine Zaha Hadid is calling us to make the facade of her new building !!(and not only her haha)and we work as well as a typical architecture office.
The team is awesome, you learn a lot, you are really in charge of a project etc…
and the last but not least, Lille is a very brilliant city!, if you don’t speak french its alright.
so if anybody is interested contact me
j.bart(at)vansanten(dot)fr
have a look at the website (it ain’t finish yet)
www.vansanten.fr
looking forward to seeing you all this summer

I have ppl consistently asking me .. as they could not make it into the quota.
How will it work this year .. how many, how long, how much .. you know ..
”The organizers should specify a clear guest policy concerning entrance to the assembly and length of stay, depending upon available space and security issues. This guest policy should be released together with applications.” [p. 15]
I thank you for all the work you are doing,
patiently waiting for this summer to come.. :)

Notes from the
organisers |
|
|
|
Biofuels….food riots…..global recession…..what a year |
|
|
|
What a difference a year makes……things have changed
hugely in Ireland since summer 2007. The last few months have seen Ireland’s much heralded economy dubbed the ‘Celtic Tiger’ shuddering to an abrupt halt; unemployment in Ireland is now at its highest level in 5 years, economic growth has dropped from 5% in 2007, to a projected 1.1% this year. In the first three months of 2008 the Government recorded a deficit of just over 354m euros. This compares with a surplus of 1.8 billion euros in the first three months of last year. |
|
|
|
The cause….a collapse of the Irish housing market.
According to the International Monetary Fund, Ireland’s housing market is overvalued by 30%. Residential investment accounts for 12 percent of the Irish economy, compared with 5 percent in Britain and 4 percent in the United States. This level of investment has led to the now evident oversupply on the Irish market. The glut of housing has brought new construction to a standstill, driving up unemployment and dimming the prospects for what has been on of Europe’s stellar performers over the last decade. Last month, only 4,050 houses were completed in Ireland, a 43% fall on the same period last year. So all in all, changing times and challenging times ahead for Irish Architecture and never before has the theme of this year’s asembly, ‘Adaptation’ been more relevant. |

Marching uphill when the rest of the country seems to be
dragging itself downwards with the bad news is hard work, but we have the momentum to attract a couple more positive minded people to join the trek! As Robert Lewis Stevenson said, ‘Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant’. Looking forward to seeing you all in Ireland in August! |

Extra Places | Payment

|
|
Thanks to all the hard working NC’s nearly every country
in the EASA network has managed to fill its quota leaving us in the very difficult position as regards allocation out extra places. We have, out of respect to previous and future EASA organisers reduced the Irish contingent to partially accommodate their requests. If circumstances change for some participants between now and the start of the assembly, rendering them unable to attend the event, we will endeavour to find replacements. |

| Workshops Announced |
|
| We would like to inform all tutors and participants that the EASA Ireland 2008 Workshop Ideas Fair will take place on Monday 11th August between 10:30-12:30 in UCD Astra Hall. Tutors from the 24 workshops selected by EASA Ireland for the assembly in Letterfrack will present their ideas in a trade fair format. Participants are required to sign up to their workshop of preference at this event. |
|
| The Green Room will be our headline workshop. It began as an international student competition with more than 60 qualified applications. The winning design by Gustav Backström and Anders Malmberg of Sweden was chosen by an adjudication panel of Xavier Dubuisson, Graham Petrie, Paul Kenny, Michael Haslam and members of EASA Ireland. It will be developed and constructed by a team of students at the assembly. |
|
| Flux Culture is another of our marquee workshops. It will be a workshop/thinktank/seminar studying the effects of Migration on our built environment. The students will develop new maps chronicling the movement of people in Europe, examine the contributions of vibrant immigrant communities to our cities and develop new building typologies to serve them. |
|
| Lunch Box is our third headline workshop. The students will design and construct an outdoor pavilion for the use of the students of the GMIT campus in Letterfrack, EASA Ireland sees this workshop as a means of repaying the college and local community for all their support. It will be led by the distinguished Irish graduate architects Ronan Costello, Joe Mc Mahon & Dermot Reynolds. |
|
| There are 21 other workshops, their genesis lying in ideas submitted to EASA Ireland by potential tutors from all over Europe. In order to finalise our list, EASA Ireland had to narrow more than 50 proposals down to 21. More information on these workshops is available on our website here. |

KRAX investigates, connects and empowers urban creativity that responds to “cracks” in the city.
KRAX 4 day conference @ BCN : Autonomous cultural spaces.
WALKS, TALKS, WORKSHOPS, PRESENTATIONS, CONNECTIONS…
collectives from many countries participating…
will be streamed also, should you wish to tune in
krax-jornadas.citymined.org
KRAX comes from the idea of cracks in the city, places that generate tensions arising from urban transformation in relation to social and cultural needs. These cracks are a point of attraction for new interests and creations. Krax is an initiative of City Mine(d), centre of production for urban interventions in Brussels, London and Barcelona.
KRAX* s a project that investigates, promotes and connects urban creativity in Barcelona with that of other cities. KRAX believes that Urban Creativity generates alternative proposals and reactions that are necessary to the city’s transformation. Autonomous initiatives emerge in response to the lack of value that public institutions place on the need for collectivism, participation and self-management in the process of building the city’s future. These initiatives exist at the cultural, social and economic levels, and we recognise the need to acknowledge and involve them.
SHEDULES: 16.30-18h y 21-23h (GMT+1)
Stream powered by GISS,
Streamer Valentina Messeri (riereta.net)

dear organizers,
i was just thinking, perhaps it is convenient to stress the NCs/send out an extra email to all participants that it is probably not unwise to bring a little more clothing to this years easa than last year.
i’m not trying to make fun of the shitty irish climate but i remember switzerland 005 where a lot of people didn’t realize that it could get quite cold in the mountains at night, resulting in them only bringing shorts, tshirts and flipflops, this again resulting in a lot of unpleasant moments at those nights ;-)
anyway, i’m packing some extra skinny jeans (yes, finally the climate allows for uncomfortable clothing!), sweaters and of course wellies :-D

Countries that have not sent us any applications:
Iceland,
Estonia,
Czech Republic
If anyone from the above countries is reading, please contact the EASA Ireland team as soon as possible.
The Czech republic was not considered a lost country up until now, they did not send anyone to Motovun INCM. If any EASA people can help us get in contact with the NC’s please do so.

..Besides architecture you can take part in theatre, plastic arts, film, photo and music events which will be held for one week in different locations of our city..
..Food and accomodation are free..Timisoara is about 450 km from Budapest and 150 from Belgrade..So maybe people nearby might think about it..It’s smart and fun..:)
