the final version of the tutorpack is online. we intend to increase the content, concerning theme, location info and especially essays, as a collaboration with the future umbrella people. the additions should be the bulletins mentioned in the easa-guide.

so this is a call for essays! read alex’ essay in the tutorpack and get excited to write your own. it doesn’t need to follow the narrative style, just give it your own shape for us to get the biggest possible diversity! a swiss essay is coming up for sure, some more would be great! treat the topic “trans – transit – transition” from your point of view: give us your personal look at the development of the cities in your country, at the flows and traffics of goods, knowledge and ideas in europe, at the change of settlement structures due to infrastructural interventions, at your very personal urban sprawl, traffic system evolutions in your country!!!

concerning umbrella-paraply-parapluie: to continue the tradition concerning the name, we thought of calling it officially in raeto-romanian, the official 4th language of switzerland spoken in the area around bergün by 1% of the swiss population (70’000 people) and nowhere else in the world. so the name is gonna be para-plöfscha. if there are any heavy protests concerning unpronounceability, let us know!!!

best wishes and greetings

dear nc’s!

as announced last week, we have to indicate a couple of deadlines. these are the following ones (you can find them on the website too):

application for participants according to the quota list: 01.05.2005
application for workshop proposals: 15.05.2005
publication of the winning projects of the competition: 15.05.2005
application for extra places: 01.06.2005

we hope you do your best to fulfil the deadlines. especially for workshops, we’d be rather grateful if you’d be in time as we have to organise all the materials (we still count on your help in finding sponsorships for workshops you bring along). as usual, one tutor per country is not included in the quota, so countries who organise a workshop have one place more. for the applications, this means the following: you apply ALL of your participants and NONE of your tutors. application forms for tutors are going to be filled in AFTER the decision whether their workshop is accepted or not.

tutors first fill in the application for a workshop (workshop requirements > download the word file and fill it in directly, afterwards send it to workshops [at] easa005.ch). in a discussion with the tutor, we will find out whether the workshop is going to take place or not. after that, the tutors will get one place per workshop. workshops with two or more tutors require enough places within the quota of their country!!!

there is an updated version of the tutorpack available. it contains more information concerning the workshop locations. the definite version will be uploaded within two weeks at the max. after that, you will get further information concerning the location, switzerland in general and further details concerning the theoretical background in bulletins (produced in collaboration with the umbrella people).

so, thanks in advance for being in time. i don’t need to remind you of swiss watches, do i?

:-) flo

example: swasiland has 10 places according to the quota list and brings one workshop with 3 tutors. this means the following: swasiland can bring 8 participants and 2 tutors included in the quota. for one tutor, swasiland gets an extra place. so in total, swasiland can bring 11 people.

dear all,

yesterday i went to see the movie “my architect” with some friends. (about l. kahn / his bastard son etc) nice movie, i think it is a must-see, from all kind of perspectives. great filmic impressions of kahn’s masterworks, nice line up of old heroes: gehry, johnson (the guy with the glasses), pei, and many more, mostly with hilarious anecdotes. funny moments and touching story. brilliant documentary showing how hard it is to have an architect in your family and illustrating our typical architect’s behaviour. after watching this, your parents should be worried. childly advisory!

;-)

love,

Jelk NL

PS: after a second glance at the website i learned the movie might only be screening in The Netherlands, France, UK, USA, Canada and Australia. However, it is available on DVD (for $22,46 amazon.com has it). For the unhappy architecture students that are not living in one of those listed countries, you still can buy it, consume it, and even see it!!!

By chance I have made contact with an EASA veteran; Mirjana Marjanovic from Belgrade who lives in London and attended EASA summer events & UK-winter schools between 1996 > 98.
I will be meeting her this week for a chat and to gain advice for our INCM.
Do you and the other Belgrade team know her? shall I say hello?
Open question:
Do we require archive material from these years?

Hey easa people,
I’m doing some research on buildings and projects constructed in areas that has been used in a heavy industrialized manner. E.g gravel pits, gravel plants, open pits, strip mines, quarrys etc. Places that change from heavy industry to new forms of recreational space. Industry sites that have left big “scars” in the areas they have been inhabiting.
anyhoot, write me if you have any questions fredrik@gyllenhoff.com

thanks,

Freddie

request to all of u:
I’d need a list of the main architecture magazines in your country (the two or three major per country).

So far I’d say:

> Germany (and I presume for the other germanspeaking countries those might be the same):
_ DB
_ Baumeister
_ maybe DBZ

> France:
_ Architecture d’Aujourd’hui
_ Technique et Architecture

> UK:
_ The Architectural Review
_ sth like “Architectural Digest” ?

> Belgium:
_ A+

> Spain:
_ El Croquis

I’d be grateful if u could complete the list. Maybe even with a link to the corresponding sites?

Thx a lot

hi everybody.

you find the quota list on the website as well as the technical workshop requirements. all deadlines will be announced soon.

please pass on the workshop requirements file to your possible tutors. we would like them to apply by sending their proposal as a mail to workshops (at) easa005.ch, including a very short introduction of the person/the workshop idea in the mail, the filled in word file with the technical requirements and any other documents as pdf or word files.

looking forward to many workshops and even more participants
