I . N . C . M . 2 0 1 3 . B I D D ING romanIA vS belgium Two quiet different teams, different countries, different presentations. But both made all the preparations very well! Belgian team›s strong point was having sponsors already,but it seemd to the majority of the NCs that they experienced a lack of enthusiasm or energy or passion. Romanian team›s advantage was their passion about this event and their eagerness to arrange it in their country, but NCs had doubts that they would manage to organize it properly... The disscussion lasted something about 8 hours but NCs could reach an unanimous decision. till midnight. Poor teams had to stay nervous for all this time . Thats how it seemed to me, but when i went to cheer them up i found them searching for a place on the map where they could carry out the incm together))) But finally at 00.12 the desicion was made ... INCM 2013 is going to be in ROMANIA!
INCM 2013 «RETHINK EASA!» A letter from Romanian team CONCEPT: The city is growing faster than anytime before. It brings people, cultures, habits together in one place. In Eastern Europe this phenomena is peculiar: the lack of applied legislation, the dynamic growth and the movement of people have generated a context so chaotic that no law can control. This is where experiments can be made. This is the place where there is no general answer. This is EASTERN LAB. The uncontrollable urban sprawl generates the urban lab – thus Bucharest becomes a starting point: the place for experiment, it is challenging by the lack of an unique solution, it offers a certain liberty of action, without ignoring restraints. Bucharest is a perfect place for this experiment as a universe of chaos and dystopia. Our bid was a call for experiment, a call towards rethinking the city. Doubt your limits! Rethink EASA!
Team: Our core team is made up by seven architecture students from two different universities in Romania. We are really enthusiastic about organizing the INCM as we see it as a both ways opportunity: both for Bucharest and for the EASA community. We wish the INCM to be more of a manifesto. We think that the EASA Spirit is about communication, exchange and alternative solutions: How can we help EASA learn from the eastern chaos and how can the eastern chaos learn from EASA? That answer is to be figured out together with our colleagues and friends from all around the world. We want to make a proper study and thus we wish to involve more countries from the former soviet block in the process. Conferences, workshops and debates will be the means to do that. We thank EASA for choosing us and we wish to make a great INCM!
