hi everybody did anybody succeed in downloading the tutorspack on www.easa003.dk? and if so, can u send it to me? (margareta04@yahoo.com)

unfortunately the site doesn't work ...

doei! margareta

hello ecverybody sorry for my long absence on the weblog ! but here i am ....

i'm thinking about giving a workshop in denmark. i'm doubting about the subject because in a way it has nothing to do with ecology, but on the other hand one can argue that it has its links in sustainability....

since a couple of weeks i'm working for a non-profit organization SUPERNOVa, it aims at offering a platform to a not well-known group of young Belgian architects to inform about their activities. Supernova created a website, where young architects can present their work on. In Belgium the platform works really well, so we aim to enlarge it to an european scale with the help of the ideas of the easa participants.

There are two different kinds of topics to focus on: 1. what tendencies are being continued? Is there a gap between the common knowledge of space and the range of ideas by young architects? Are the recurring themes similar in other countries? .... 2. How to judge architecture? And how the find a way to collect, bring together or cluster projects? How to find a mathematic 3D structure to present architecture on the web? Supernova is focusing on the principle of cluster analysis: how should a collection of objects or individuals, each characterized by a set of variables, be decomposed into homogeneous subgroups? The need to classify in more than 3 dimensions, the large size of many datasets, and the requirement for objective procedures have resulted in the development of automatic classification procedures, the cluster analysis.

As you can see, a lot to think about and a lot to filter before i can shape into a workshop.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

let me know ! thanx margareta

Ecotopia 2003 is the summer gathering of the european wide EYFA activist network.

This summer camp is set up as an example of sustainability in all aspects (environmental, economical, social), hopefully a place for exchange and experimentation (in the way of workshops, cleaning activities in the area, etc), and a starting point of future projects.

This year, Ecotopia will take place in Ukraine, in the Ivano-Frankivsk area, from the 20th of August till the 3rd of September.

Ecotopia alternates every year between a country from the so-called Western Europe and a country from the so-called Eastern Europe. But this time is the first time that it takes place in a former URSS country.

As an example of sustainable transport, every year there is a biketour organized to the ecotopia site.

The offical title for the Ecotopia this year is "YOUNG PEOPLE AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES ON HUMAN RIGHTS ".

In this frame it would extremely valuable to have presence, as complete as possible, from the former Yugoslav republics.

Also, one of the practical focuses will be on SUSTAINABLE CITIES. As Ecotopia takes place in a rural community, ways to overcome the traditional (and painful) differences and barriers countryside/city should also be discussed.

And, last but not least, I think that EYFA and EASA have quite some paralells and could benefit both from the exchange of experiences.

and questions, to

or directly to me,

javimontellano@yahoo.es

(right now, I am desperately looking for contact in Kosovo, Albania, and FYROM)

who has workshop ideas about EASA in Denmark? Please write a posting some discussion might be good for inspiration...

I think that it would be wize (according to the mix-up that hapenned) to send confirmation to the participants of the competition, that you've got all the files they've sent you. thanx

I'm french student, the main mailbox is full, so you can dowload our files from: archimusic.free.fr Thanks

maby someone knows how to solve this problem: The deadline for sending the econ projects is today on 12:00, but now (10:00) I still cant do it because the mailbox to which I should send the project is out of quota.
