On a recent trip to Barcelona University, I met a tutor there who was involved in EASA held in Athens (1985). She said she is willing, keen even, to talk to us about her experiences, and has contacts for other participants from around that time, even earlier! I remember from Brighton we were discussing on and off about recording older events. So what do you all think? Please let me know so I can pass on e-mail addresses and so on.
Love you all.
PS I didn’t know which topic to put this in, there seems to be so many that are applicable.

Everything goes well, but (I hope, you have an eye on the european politics) we’ll have a president election in Belarus on the 19 of March. It’ll cause some delay, as that one whith the competition. Please, be patient!

I’ve some problems with the SESAM Makedonia site, but, as far as I’m somewhat interested to be a tutor…
1)Can’t load an application page. What’s up?
2)Tuition fee: 50 euros. Does it exactly mean fee for tutors? Sounds not very good, especially for those tutors from Eastern Europe (me too). Also, there is no Belarus in the list…
3)Tutorpack is very poor. No city map, no recources, no lection themes… are you fucused on a theory or 1:1 scale building?
4)How many participants do you have? From which countries?
If you want, you can answer by e-mail: gzaborski@yahoo.com

A bit late, but anyway. I’ve been busy organizing a conference (Architectural theory) in Delft which will take place on the 16th and 17th of March (yes, next week).
It promises to be an impressive event, and even if you can’t come we’ve set up a live video stream so all you guys can follow all the lectures and discussion if you’d like.
please check www.projectivelandscape.nl
our speakers are:
an Allen (special apperance)
Robert Somol
Sarah Whiting
Michael Speaks
Roemer van Toorn
Kamiel Klaasse
Reinhold Martin
Peter Trummer
Nikolaus Kuhnert
Diane Ghirardo
Hans van Dijk
Ole W. Fischer
Wouter Vanstiphout
Willem-Jan Neutelings
Naomi Stead
Lara Schrijver
M. Christine Boyer
Arie Graafland
K. Michael Hays
in short the conference is about this:
The Projective Landscape Stylos Conference wants to research and explore the similarities between a few -at first sight- seemingly diverse developments within the architecture debate taking place in Europe and the United States. These developments appear to offer a fruitful strategy for architecture in the 21st century. Because this specific debate is very scattered, the conference aims to map and clarify these different developments and hopes to come to a clearer formulation of what now is being referred to as projective practice. By which we mean an architecture that is engaged with the reality of the society in which it is embedded, but focuses on its own discipline instead of looking for legitimatization of its practice in just societal criticism or in disciplines outside itself like sociology and philosophy.

Ive been browing the web and came across the EAAE(European Association for Architectural Education), an international non-profit association committed to the exchange of ideas and people within the field of architectural education and research. As far as I cold gather the heads of schools of architecture from all over europe meet on a similar basis to EASA. www.eaae.be
Has anyone from past EASAs tried to contact this association? They might prove to be benificial as regards how to receive grants, etc.
Another one I came across is the Architects Council of Europe, and The Architects’ Council of Central and Eastern Europe under the UIA. www.uia-architectes.org The ACE was founded in 1990 and its principal function is to monitor and influence developments at EU level highlighting those areas of EU Policy that have a direct impact on architectural practice, policy and the built environment.

As part of the greening the city eco initiave to set up more community gardens along a possible greenway (the botanic spine) and CPUL (continuous productive urban landscape) for Dublin city a community garden was set up some months back on unused land in Phibsborogh between the Royal Canal and the Arrow train line. On Saturday an open public gardening day happened during which many baby Larch and Beech trees were planted.
The garden was started on Sunday the 25th of September as part of a 4 day long series of events that were put on by Irish eco activists as examples of healthy free sustainable alternatives to current car culture which relies on unjust oil wars to keep things going. The previous Thursday was car free day, not that you would have known given how little the government did for the day. Work on the garden has been happening since then; clearing the weeds, opening the soil and clearing an old fence, making a herb garden, compost heap, planting flowers, starting a willow den, and dreaming of a future with play areas, fireplaces, lots of food, a super community enjoying each others meals and much much more.
A similar garden happened on the South side of the city in Dolphins Barn and it has become a hugely successful project with many people from the area participating in growing their own food, re-establishing community, enjoying the fruits of their labour. That garden will be a year old in April.
Things are in their early stages and having done the initial ground work the team are now engaging with the wider community of Phibsborogh, Glasnevin, Cabra and beyond. so if you are interested email us or pop down on the weekend.

Hello easeans.
We’ve been making an inventory of our archive in copenhagen. And we also scanned the covers and a few pages of each final report from the archive + the full final report of the 1st easa in Liverpool and the firsteasa guide from the INCM ’91 held in Berlin.
We’ll send out a excel-file of the inventory, so that you can contact us if you have any reqeusts from the inventory, we’ll scan themand send them. But as you know scanning is a terrible time-consuming job; hence the whole archive hasn’t been scanned, but might over time.
So what we want to discuss now is how to collect and handle the archive in a digital format (as pdf’s jpgs or other format / chronolical, matter of content etc.) we started some discussion in Brighton, and now we’d also like to hear from all the blog-users.

…can i kindly ask people posting to try to put their posts in appropriate topics? if possible…
it just makes it easier to find information later.
for example topic ‘sesam 006 >>mkd’ has only initial post and 2 comments even that there were more posts made.
so one has to go through lots of posts to find things.
regards,

How are community ratings decided?
Who decides community ratings?
Are NC’s consulted about community ratings?
In the last two years, the numer of Architecture Schools in Ireland has doubled from 3 to 6. The original 3 being: University College Dublin, Dublin Institute of Tech, Queens University Belfast. The new 3 colleges being University of Limerick, Waterford Institute of Tech and University of Ulster.
Demand for places in Ireland has significantly increased. Ireland has probably the busiest construction industry in Europe – existing colleges have even expanded, This means that in the space of 5 years (the last two and the next three) the number of arch. students in Ireland will double. Interest in EASA has increased here exponentially, I have had queries from 12 people already ( and it is February!) with a quota of 5, I don’t think that I need to explain my position.
Last year we had 7 places, all filled at Bergun.
Why has our quota gone down when the overall no. of EASA places remained the same?
I ask this question in the context of EASA Ireland considering bidding for EASA in 2008/2009. How can I mobilise people for this when none of them know what EASA is?
As taken from the EASA Guide:
”Community: ranging from 1 to 6, it tells about the number of schools and students in each country”
The problem for me as Irish NC is that the commnity ratings allocated make no sense, we have 6 collges but only a rating of 1, if we had a rating of 2, we would have a quota of seven, if we had a rating of 3, which is probably correct, we would have a quota of 9.
I don’t think many of the ratings allocated make sense, why does France have a rating of 4, when it has 25+ colleges, and Denmark has a rating of 3 when it has two, albeit large, colleges.
Feel free to correct me if what I’m saying makes no sense.
I feel that the quotas should be completely recalculated.

I got an e-mail from Sandor tonight, about the first deadline for participants lists. In that mail, the first deadline is ‘March 1st’. But we have a serious calendar for applications from Turkey and we planned it as it was happened in last two years: May 1st. If we would be informed before, we could arrange, but now, its impossible to send participants list in two weeks because we have at least two more introduction meeting about EASA in general and the summer assembly in 2006. Last meeting was in Ankara, and Eros and me promoted EASA to the students in inner Turkey. We will ask proposals of a little competition for attending summer assembly, so we need time to fix all these things and I am expecting more than 50 proposals this year. I think this deadline should be postponed to a proper date, so pleaaaaase, arrange something….
