008 guest issue. |
| posted by sasa. on Tuesday, 29. April 2008, 11:26 in topic: easa 2008 |
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 Deadline |
|
|
|
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. |

a short note for the irish organizers |
| posted by das-horst on Sunday, 20. April 2008, 19:57 in topic: easa 2008 |
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

Help...how to request for an extra place ? |
| posted by odin modvalsen on Friday, 4. April 2008, 15:58 in topic: easa 2008 |
Hey, Due to a mistake, i am facing a difficult (sad) situation.
Before, when I had to find members here in ALBANIA, I was told that my presence as a NC didnt count to the national quota, and, thinking that I could pick up to 5 members, I did form a nice group in which, in all these days, every single member has been active in contributing ideas and solutions about fund-raising, booking details, etc.
It was only when I sent the filled application forms last night, that I learnt that the NC counts inside the approved quota.
I find it difficult and for sure it will have lots of emotive consequences on the chosen person, because everyone of them deserves it and I can find no reason to pick between them.
So at this point it would be the most neccessary thing to luckily gain a single extra-place for the "removed one"..I am aware that chances are weak, but I'd do my best not to remove anyone of them, because it's not their mistake...
The main help I'd need, is to know how can I make a formal request if so is needed, and how it is selected which country gains any extra place.
now hoping for a good thing to happen,
...and waiting for any clue.
Thanks,
Klejdi Eski

A word of caution, some of the videos capture some brutal scenes, but i would recomend the film shot from a helicopter, though it focuses only around the town hall it gives an indication just how many people were in the city yesterday/last night. Consider that this is one of four screens that were erected.

Bad Buzz. Its a pain to lose a years work. I hope most people had files backed up externally. Its going to be interesting to see what will replace it.
by paddy_roche @ 2008-05-15 14:32
It's hard to imagine how many problems this is causing!
I hope you did a backup and had your models elsewhere.
I just had a lecture with Axel Killian from TU delft yesterday and after hearing about the fire I told him about it. He thought I was joking, and I felt like it was a joke. So we found pictures on flickr and he saw his office burning. Quite sureal.
Good luck! And se you in CPH erasmus students!
by nikolaj_dk @ 2008-05-15 14:25
well for most neutrals the game was dull, but late on justice was done with the Russians coming out on top.
Which left just a couple of questions, what would happen to the city now there were 150,000 (estimates keep rising) pissed up pissed off Rangers fans who essentially couldn't move due to sheer weight of numbers?
Today Manchester isn't quite the city it was. Personally I think it was handled well by the city and the mess/clean up is only to be expected for such numbers.

couldn't help it, but i trust in your ability to forgive me for the small little stab at ye ;)
i also am looking forward to a couple of weeks of nice
entertainment and sportsmanship and may the better team win,
both tonight and at the tournament and while i am not much of an UEFA fan, i do look forward for the CL final next week.
enjoy the night!
by sennahoj @ 2008-05-14 20:11
while I know the blog is not technically (most definately) the place for me to emphasise my football (religious) beliefs, I can't help but rise to the bait.
For me the only important European football match takes place on 21st May in Moscow. I, like most other United fans, live in the knowledge that United > England. As a pure football fan I can say Croatia did me a favour, it means this summer I can enjoy the games for what they are without distraction.
For the record my money is on Holland, but then again it has been since about Euro...
by chris - manchester @ 2008-05-14 20:01
while you still can ;)
i'll be having a beer or two during the
European Cup next month, cheering for my team,
that are actually playing...

I think I'll be heading out amongst it all tonight. There was talk the council underestimated the interest and attendance. Should be interesting to find out how the city is coping with the influx of such numbers into a few key parts of teh city centre.

Here is a link to BBC videos covering the cities build up to the UEFA cup final tonight. Its the second time in 7 years a major European final has been held in the city, but its fair to say that with the 100,000+ Rangers fans expected (today's wave started flooding in about 4am and promptly began the drinking session of a life time) it is a more rowdy affair then the all (classic) Italian European cup final at Old Traffod. Good luck to both Rangers and Zenit, here's to football and good natured banter!

sorry to see this happen. any ideas how it started. am sure along with the building is lots and lots of really important stuff belonging to students and i imagine that the stress of this loss will really hurt some people. look out for each other, expect that this will be very hard for people to get over. go for a walk, go to nature, take break, invite others for a stroll by a stream. be gentle....
time helps...
by duncan @ 2008-05-13 20:55
Seems we are now the 'generation before the fire'... building is now completely lost... its now 8pm and still burning: soon its gonna be the 12hr of fire. I think there's gonna be a lot of Dutch Erasmus students next year..

We just got news from our Dept. of Foreign Affairs that they will grant free visas to our guests to attend easa008!
not only will this be of financial benefit to our guests but the accompanying support of the Dept. will be very useful should any problems arise. they will send us an official letter which we will scan and issue to all of our guests to add to their application documents. they will obviously inform the embassies/consulates directly too.
once we receive this letter we will begin to issue our letters of invitation, along with any other important information regarding...

yes, you are right.
I double checked every information available on the net about these issues and it resulted to me that our embassy is in Athens.
Can you please give me a hint about what visa category it's better to apply for ? At this step of the processing, this would be the most important information.
thanks,

No, there is not an Irish embassy in Skopje. The one for the Macedonian citizens is in Bratislava, so we're going to send our documents there. I think you should ask in your ministry of foreign affairs in which country's Irish embassy you should apply for visa, I think it's not just any country..
Cheers :)

Hello,
I think we're neighbors down here...do you have any irish embassy in skopje ? Tirana doesn't have one and to get the visa one has to apply at the closest irish embassy - I think..I mean, people here apply through the Irish Emb. in Athens - Greece.
An embassy in Skopje would be a really good reason to make a 3-day trip back in Macedonia, as I often visit there.
Where do you get your visas from ?
cheers
