as there were some problems with the log in (e.g. muzaffer from cyprus), here again for everybody: if you come from the link to the forum on www.easa.tk, it’s not possible to log in to post any stories or comments.

you need to type easa.antville.org directly into your browser’s adress bar. then it’s not really a problem to log in.

by the way: marko/johannes, could that be changed without a too big effort for you? would be nice cause if people browse the web for easa-info in google, the first link shown is the eth-one that is redirected to easa.tk. so most of the people who don’t know about the whole stuff might “arrive” here via the link.

by the way: is it ok if we stop the automatic redirection from our swiss eth-page? we might need it soon for our organisation… ok, let me put up a poll for that.

hi everybody!
this is the email i (and some of you) received today from Muzaffer about sesam in Cyprus this april.
as not everybody received it, i am enclosing a copy of it here. there is also .doc file with list of some lectures and workshops (for International Gazimagusa Symposium 2004).
it is about combining already existing symposium and sesam, but still to me lot of things seem unclear.
what would be actual SESAM programme.
anybody has more comments, ideas ???

Hello friends hello from Cyprus …


We¡¦ve thought to organize SESAM in the North part of the Island -before the ¡§union¡¨ took place.
(that we hope to see this happened very soon)


Famagusta: [for further info – see:
www.cypnet.co.uk]
There will be a symposium in Famagusta, covering the dates of 12 -16th
April.
(this will include: exhibitions,workshops, lectures, etc.)

Our program will be parallel to the organization of SESAM.
(SESAM will be held on the dates of 10 -17th April.)

- In the first two days; we will meet and have a trip to the Island
(It has a real deep history. There will never be enough time to discover it
all! ļ)
- Then we will participate in the workshops
(new ideas of workshops are quite welcome. also we can decide to make our
own workshops, e.g. to represent EASA-SESAM,.. this can be an alternative
for example; but we should discuss on it.)

Within these days of preparation; we will be looking for better accomodation
conditions and some sponsors to support..


Accomondation Alternatives:
1- pitch up tents near the Cafeteria. (on the seaside).
2- stay in a hotel. (again on the seaside )
(freedom in beach to make activities, beach parties, etc.)

Also I will be waiting for your ideas about it..
I¡¦d prefer hotel ;)

About the fees everything is included: breakfast and dinner, accomodation,
trips;..
low prices are preferred for fees( aroun100-150 euro ;)
-still trying hard to arrange sponsors to get reduced-rate tickets-

I know that the travel will be hard to be organized throughout the semester
period; also the location: Cyprus.. But it will well worth the trouble!
And I think the timing is good within the Spring semester (April- beginning
of the second semester: no exam, no jury,..)
It will be a real good chance to relax and get the energy to move on the
semester ahead of all..

Quotas will be around 5-6 participants each country (flexible)–( and I want
from all of you ,your participant list (or number of list for now ) … it
is very important to let me know before 20 february )
And the web page will be constructed soon..
I hope to meet you all in April!

Best Regards,
Muzaffer Uyar ( NC )

Hi,

Sent the text below out to email list of NCs, if you didn’t receive it and think you should have please send an email to easa_uk_nc@yahoo.co.uk

We’ve received a few comments already, but obviously as they’ve come to the email account only we read them, and there needs to be a discussion, so now posting this here, in a new topic ‘INCM 2005’…

Please discuss / wait to see if more proposals come in and then discuss…

To: NC list
Sent: 3rd January 2004

Proposal to hold INCM 2005 in the UK

EASA was initiated in Liverpool, UK, in 1981. In 2005 the 25th EASA will be held in Switzerland. To mark the 25th anniversary of EASA the NCs from the UK would like to invite the EASA community back to the UK to hold the INCM 2005.

We propose to keep the NC meetings the focus of the week, during the day. However, as the 25th anniversary is an important milestone, we would like to make some celebrations to mark the occasion. So we have the following suggestions:
• A series of evening lectures, including inviting the people who organised EASA in 1981 (once we have found them) to give a talk on what their intentions were, and what actually happened in 1981. Also inviting other organisers of EASAs past, and other speakers on student led architecture initiatives.
• To hold an exhibition (hopefully at RIBA – the Royal Institute of British Architects – headquarters) of each and every EASA, what EASA is, how the focus has changed over the years etc, basically a retrospective.
• And a big party of course…

Obviously the exhibition will be a lot easier to organise once the archive has been set up during the EASA in France this summer. We believe that as EASA as a community decided to make an archive, it speaks a lot about wanting to honour the past. When the archive has been made and all of the information has been brought together, it would be a shame not to have it displayed somewhere, if only for a month initially. After the retrospective has been organised, it could then reach other countries too.

Whilst the INCM 2005 is almost two years from now, tracking down the original organisers may take some time, and so we would like to start work on that as soon as possible.

We are not sure how this works, we should have brought it to discussion at the INCM in Slovenia, but it was only a butterfly fluttering in our minds at that point. Since the INCM, our resolve to offer to host the INCM 2005 has increased. So we ask for your support, and also your decision. We are unaware of any other offers as yet to host the INCM 2005, so if any other country is interested, perhaps they could also post a proposal, so that it’s an even playing field, and then would it be possible to have an on-line discussion and thrash it out to confirm whether we go ahead and try to contact the EASA forefathers, and foremothers?

We would also like to mention that although the UK has not been well represented in numbers attending EASA in recent history, that as an NC team we have already made headways and contacts with 22 of our 38 schools of architecture here, after recently giving a presentation at a meeting of student representatives from the schools of architecture in UK (called ARCHAOS). We feel confident that there is interest in EASA in the UK, and that we should be able to bring our quota of participants to EASA France in 2004, which will come through to assist with the organisation of the INCM, should we be chosen to hold it.

We would like to suggest that if any other countries would also like to offer a proposal for the INCM 2005, that this could be done within the next month, and posted to the NC list. Deadline of 3rd February? Then after that NCs could arrange to meet online to discuss whether the UK goes ahead and makes more concrete plans and contacts…?

Looking forward to hearing your views and comments.

26th of December an earthquake hit the city of Bam in Iran. 40,000 people have died and many many more are in desperate need of help.

here in ireland we are involved with FILLAWELLY and we are organizing the FILLAWELLY WANDER. a sponsored walk around the 25 miles of Dublin Bay on Saturday 31st January and Sunday 1st February 2004 in aid of Trócaire all the money will go directly to Bam
fancy dress is encouraged on the weekend to make the event as fun, enjoyable and memorable as possible. Collectores will have wellies that they are trying to fill full of cash during the walk and in the 2 pub crawls.

2-day fun walk along Dublin bay, raising money for those still suffering in Bam in Iran
Saturday along the Northside. Sunday along the Southside.


FILLAWELLY has already begun, last saturday in the SHRDLU studios @ Mullanahone, county Tip. there was a super farewell party for Etaoin during which 2 black wellies (ruber “wellington” boots) were cleaned and BAM was written in white on their sides. money was added over the night and at 8.28 am on sunday morning, as the sun was rising there was an auction for a can of dutch gold beer, it went for $3.85

anyway thats what is going on here.
we are trying to get more people doing more things, preferabaly with wellies, to raise money, quickly, for people in bam
a fine example is the Castlecomer Wellington Race which has happened every new years day for the last 18 years in kilkenny
the burn the irish bar crew from the burning man festival (possibly the biggest maddest party on the planet ever) are also getting involved

it would be great to hear what other fundraising events are going on around europe
or perhaps some of you could set up events with us, who knows what it could spark off?

you can view detail maps here click on locator maps -interactive

hi there,

hope you’re all doing just fine :)

i have an idea which might be put into practice very soon!!!
we have a quite good night club (www.clubgravity.lt)here which has special parties called “imagenation” where you can present various art projects, instalations, videos, photos and so on.
so i thought that we can easily show easa stuff there!!! i mean pics or videos such as dutch landart and hovercraft, tv in a tree, even pics from ljubljana and etc. maybe someone of you has interesting things and wants to show them :) you are very welcome.

if anyone of you have any thoughts or suggestions, i am open for all ideas.
i already talked to the manager and he agreed to look through the stuff we have and he’s quite interested.
so why not?

Hello there all you wonderfull easa-people. It appears that everyone is now fat and greasy from christmas and hung over from new year, and easa.tk is apperantly still sleeping… but now that even the orthodox christmas is over – and very merry about that one to to you people in the east <:·) – we can all get back to really important things in life, namely: EASA 04!! ;-)

I’m dead excited to go to my first urban easa, but what’s the theme actually?! it’s a bit unclear to me…micro-macropolitain? Cultural machine?

I think it would be nice to start some discussions about this, to inspire people with some ideas that could eventually turn in to some nice workshops…

I’ve missed you all christmas, so hope life will start again here soon

love

Adam
