Do you remember last summer, the irish violin and drum, the rumanian flute and the hidden one, the french "bamba" guitar and the other one...?? Is some of you who plays music? what kind of music, instrument? Just for the next summer, maybe an "easa big band"...

on Sunday the 9th of December 2003 a piece of land art was done on the beach of Lahinch in county Clare, Ireland. It was done by 4 people for a few different reasons.

most of us are familiar with PI (3.14.........) but few of us are familiar with PHI Φ(1.618...........)

its the number which makes up the "golden section" in art and architecture. its supposedly the most perfect proportion it has been used for thousands of years by artists and architects. it also appears throughout much of science

what do you think?

it took 2 and a half years for this event to happen doing the wall in the "samogar art gallery" was great too

full story, more pix and commentry on indymedia ireland

when your on that beach, its the edge of europe. next stop is new york @ 3000 miles

hu, no new posts today - how boring... so then I'll just make my own, and start a new topic - "software & www". Here you could suitably post tips like this one. And if it's to little to do with EASA then kick my ass. But I think it'd be for the benefit of all of us.

The reason for all of this is that I have resently discovered a wonderfull little 3d modelling program: wings3d. And I have never learnt a program so fast. It's amazingly easy and fun to use and ...tada... free. You can download it at:

www.wings3d.com - remember to get a user manual as well.

It works for both mac & pc and exports in fx 3dmax

It's using subdivisions and not boleans. So it doesn't recognise massive volumes. Only surfaces. So often not so usefull for real architecture. But could be great for sketching and object design.

Hope some of you will check it out

that's it

ARCHAOS PRESS RELEASE Re: Forum, 28 November 2003

“What If..?!”- the archaos forum on the future form of education throws up some strong opinions from the student body

The forum was held from 10am-5.30pm at Westminster School of Architecture in London. There were reps from 23 schools of architecture present, from around the country- from Brighton to Plymouth to Cardiff to Dundee.

The purpose of the Forum was to discuss the future form of Architectural Education, with the ultimate aim of producing a coherent set of proposals formulated by the reps, for publication and discussion by the profession. Speakers included Kate Heron (Head of School at Westminster and Chair of SCHOSA), John Lyall (Compiler of the RIBA guide ‘Tomorrow’s Architect’) and Jeremy Till, who gave a personal viewpoint on how architects should be educated. In addition we had a presentation from EASA, the European Architecture Students’ Assembly.

On the 13th of décember, 2000 will showed up for complete freaked New York nigth.

Roubaix and Gent in Belgium are inviting the Big Apple for the a complete nigth of Artists, Electro, MC's, Rappers and DJ's.

All the microplitan spaces of the CP building will crak, full of madkinds, crowds.

you are of course, welcome

new process project @ WSFjanuary04- an EASA experiment?

more interaction and communication between EASA and other groups will lead to us all learning more from each other, having more fun, and ultimately improving the architectural state of society and the planet. proposal= global indymedia webconference project of the world social forum which is happening in january in mumbai in india. setting up new architectural spaces: local node is part of global interactive network

social forum and indymedia are the 2 major, open, non hierarchial processes which are changing the world in a fundamentally new way. it is possible for the 150 or so already existing indymedia nodes to work on a global project together, whereby live webstreams can be set up so that those of us who want to go to mumbai but physically cant, can still participate in the process; we come together in the virtual world as one interconnected network. using the real and the virtual together there have been 2 previous world social forums over the last 3 years, both in porto alegro in brazil the upcoming WSF is on 16- 21st of january

3000 years ago philosophers and other people interested in life came together in the agora in athens, from that western civilisation developed. the next step in world history is happening, it is the network age

it is the most exciting time to be invovled in art, architecture, politics, culture

i hope this proposal generates some architectural debate amongst us
