We have arrived at the last days of EASA, and the workshops are all finalising their work for toomorrow’s exhibitions and presentations. It has been a fantastic year for the assembly,

LIVING BOOM FURNITURE
The Sun Order workshop is trying to state the problem that architecture today is global. That means that some well known offices produce generalised global architecture. And even the other part of regional architecture is becoming “globalistic” - full of “cliches” as seen on many architectural websites. The reason being today’s architects do not live without internet. When one’ starts a project, one looks for inspiration. Then one looks at internet, looks at collection of popular architectural websites.
Oooh! EASA’s stargazers, incurable romantics... Just to refresh your memory. They spend nights watching the Nida sky full of stars... They know stars always have something to show... Walking their star treks we experienced Nocturne’s sparkling zodiac party (that was fun!) and also we had a pleasure to read their horoscope made specially for us EASiAns.
on the way to the bar, just after you exit the acomodation grounds, you turn left to go to the bar, and there’s an old building on the left. You’ll find the cube on the empty space in front of the building.
The Living Boom participants have been putting together and painting the furniture for their workshop in the main accommodation today. We can’t wait to see it on site!
The Umbrella team would like to thank everyone who contributed to the newspaper this year to make it so successful. We had a lot of fun putting it together and we hope you enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed making it for you! xoxo Team Umbrella
One’s projects’ inspiration comes from all over the world in a big part. Even if you use phenomenological approach for design, it is the same. The house you create from your inspiration sources can exist in Moscow, Vilnius or Berlin. For us it is interesting, that today we need orientation in global architecture like a man in the sea. And Nida is surrounded by sea. For example, when man made a boat to go to the sea, it’s like he was given freedom to sail anywhere.

But when you have freedom, you need orientation, because otherwise sailor relies on his fortune and fears chaos. Together, as a team of tutors, we want to explore in our workshop “the navigation tools for the boat” - how to connect building and site. But not with traditional methods of design from modernism or postmodernism... We would like to imagine: as part of “Not yet decided” future - if all world disconnects from internet, what will define and make the character, the architecture of buildings? We believe it is light. Sun light. Sun order. Because on each point on Earth sun angle is different. All year around very day the light is changing. Therefore we want to explore new starting points of design, test new tools related to and based on light. It would be at the same time new and old methods: as they were used for Stonehenge in England or Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
Now, we are still walking further, following the signs of the sky beds in the octagon that is rising in a fine place by the beach, where we can smell and hear the magnificent water of the Baltic sea (not far away from the bar)...
vsOn (Vision) is building a physical framework for Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experiences. The workshop has two parts, the construction of the cube which becomes the canvas over which the digital artworks are displayed, and a digital part in which all the participants have made contributions to the very first Augmented Reality exhibition. We’ve been working on the cube for two weeks and it’s pretty much finished now. We still have to paint the faces with a pattern and hopefully the rain will stay away long enough for us to finish. For the digital part we’ve made tests on a model of the cube, so that when the cube is done we will have the exhibition ready as well. You will need an Android phone to experience the exhibition. Tomorrow you’ll find the “vsOn Augmented Reality Gallery” app on the Play Store, and you can download it to see our digital installations on the cube, with your own phone.
HANG OUT The Wake-Up Call: The Hangout team had a somewhat musical start to the day, when some team members who failed to wake up for the 7 AM trasport appointment received a visit from their colleagues who decided to wake them up with a series of really beautiful, but incredibly loud serenading. All the singing inadvertantly gave the entire east wing of the accomodation an early wake up call, but the final result was not disappointing, because by 9 AM the Hangout pavillion was all done and hung on its permanent location in the first pier to the left of the town centre.
The Users Are Gathering...
HACKING NATURE Four teams for four different and interesting objects is the result. Tomorrow the team will be on the site to install all of the structures. It’s near to the accommodation, in the forest. Don’t miss them on workshops route.
Spotted yesterday at The Living Boom pier was a local who came fishing with his son, as captured on a beautifully melancholic photo. A participant commented on the pier being his favorite fishing spot before the intervention and wondered about his thoughts on the whole thing now. We were unable to track down the fisherman for an interview, but we think he just might get used fishing from a red armchair in the future.
