Get a job in Lille anyone tempted? |
| posted by julie_b on April 30, 2008 at 1:42:00 PM CEST |
The office where im working at the moment is looking for an architect, my boss asked me if i had any connections with youngs architects from abroad...so i thought it might interest some easa people! Its quite an uncommon office as we deal the most of the time with projects from others architects, we are specialized in the facades, so imagine Zaha Hadid is calling us to make the facade of her new building !!(and not only her haha)and we work as well as a typical architecture office. The team is awesome, you learn a lot, you are really in charge of a project etc... and the last but not least, Lille is a very brilliant city!, if you don't speak french its alright. so if anybody is interested contact me j.bart(at)vansanten(dot)fr have a look at the website (it ain't finish yet) www.vansanten.fr
looking forward to seeing you all this summer
;) julie

Notes from the
organisers |
|
|
|
Biofuels....food riots.....global recession.....what a year 2008 has been so far!!! |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
The deadline for payment of participant fees is Friday 2nd May. It is integral to the organisation of EASA Ireland 2008 that all participation fees are received in full and on-time due to bookings that need to be made in the next month. Payments are only accepted from the National Contacts of each country and should be made to the account below. |

| 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. |
