SPOT THE 5 DIFFERENCES TOILET RULES

A clean toilet is the best thing you can have after a night of agressive self-destruction or hardcore workshopping. We all know that. But somehow, in EASA it always gets messed up; the toilets are not clean, as you can see in the picture on the left. So here are the rules for keeping it clean and happy: 1. door open = free. door closed = occupied 2. only pipi & popo. waste goes into the trashcans, throw ups in your neighbours sleeping bag. 3. don‘t miss the hole, please. people have to clean it up too. 4. don‘t use too much toilet paper. it will block the toilet. people have to clean it up too. 5. FLUSH & BRUSH. or BRUSH & FLUSH. either way, please do it. 6. wash your hands. we‘re all grown ups.

1 NC meeting: 10pm @ the cantina Rune‘s Review

Today EASA-dino Nikolaj from Denmark arrived. He brought his bike in a plastic suitcase currently placed in the info point. Go take a look. Nikolaj first sentence in the camp was: „Who is she?“ You can recognize Nikolaj because he‘s bald. Bonusinfo: At EASA he goes under the alias as EUROLOVE [€<3]

so, if everybody follows these rules, we‘ll have more toilet number 1, and less toilet number 2. and than, everybody wins.

2 lost...

- Dijana‘s voice. If you find it, please return it to the umbrella desk - Alex Maxwell (UK) lost his prescription glasses at the lake. Glasses don‘t float, so everybody look underwater! - Bhavika Mistry (UK) is still missing her passport. It‘s brown and very needed! - sabir from azerbajian lost his brain. if you find it, don‘t eat it, or try to learn anything from it, just return it...

...and found

- an external harddrive full of porn. Somebody‘s gonna be very lonely this easa... - a red H&M jacket - a white Mango/MNG watch - broken pair of Rayban Aviator sunglasses. Not the ones everybody wears this year, but the ones everybody wore last year. Oh, fashion is so predictable.

To help with that, umbrella is collecting 1 euro from all participants to go and buy soap in the store. come by at the umbrella office, at the entrance of the sleeping building!

organizers info

- Watch out for Eros! Please don‘t bother him with silly questions like where are the toilets, or do you speak English. He‘s superhard at work trying to get all the workshop up and running. The organizers hope that everything will be ready by tuesday evening. So, until then, go to the lake and brainstorm your asses off! - Please take care of your trash, especially the glass bottles, because we wouldn‘t want everybody‘s flip-flopped feet to get cut. - Same goes for the plastic bottles, they get blown away by the wind, and spread out all over the valley. There‘s already reports of bottles in Milano!

bino

Why did you buy these sunglasses? Because of the Blues Brothers.

The wayfarer sunglasses were designed in 1951 but only achieved popularity in 2007 when electrokids MGMT wore them and American Apparel sold them. They are now available in every colour so to easily match your mood/t-shirt/boyfriend. These sunglasses can now be seen on the faces of architecture students all over Europe, so Umbrella went out and asked them some questions...

Who is the starchitect in your country? ... hummm ..... hmmmm for me or? mmm its Willy Maas [MVRDV], cause he’s my neighbour.

You wanna see the whole thing? Well, you gonna have to collect it!!! Starting tomorrow in umbrella... only for you piece by piece.

lecture review THE SUBLIME VERTIGO Lecture by Flavio Albanese

„First days in August in Sils-Maria (EngadinValley, CH) at 6000 feet above the see level and much higher of all human things“ F. Nietzsche What does the Mountain represent in the imagination of the (Wo)+man? What kind of place ist the mountain? An uncommon place. A station of the spirit! It is a place where, Nietzsche himself makes Zarathustra go on the day of his 30 th year of age, where for ten years, he enjoyed, tirelessly, his spirit and his solitude. Another great thinker of our time, Martin Heidegger, used to go and philosphize/think in his mountain hovel/hut in the Black Forest. In his hut he conceived the most important passages/chapters of Being and Time, and that was the place where anybody, who had wanted to meet him for an extra-university interview, was forced to climb at. Even an absolute masterpiece of world literature, Zauberberg. The magic Mountain is a set in the mountains of the Engadin-Valley, a landscape where the highest reason blends with the mists of the sky with neither beginning nor end: behind Hans Castrop, the main Character of the novel: „The world, the valley inhabited by the men, soon got closed and disappeared from sight“ The Mountain, in Thomas Mann novel, becomes the temple of initiation into life and ist mysteries for a bourgeois couple which until then had not had a grapple with metaphysical thoughts , and that is able only because of illness and life at high attitude at 6000 feet above the sea and much more on top of all that is human“ to achieve a higher level of self-consciousness. An awareness that one can achieve through the contemplation of the mountain, which Chezanne did in his obsessive and countless versione of his paintings of Sainte-Victoire mountain. The Mountain is like an exclamation mark, it is a place of exception where both spirit and body, almost raised by r^the weight of the gravity of the world, freely relax in open and unrestricted spaces-we are going to take over! Refugees are also located in the mountain because the mountain itself is a refuge, a place for all those people, voluntarily of forced, with no place in the daily society. In the mountains sought refuge the monks, the asceitcs, saints, heretics, the peolpe affected by tuberculosis, the killers, the draft didgers, the partisans... By putting into contact the earth with the sky, the finite space with the infinite one, the mountain becomes refuge bacause ist position is out of this world but on this side of the sky, in a middle land of the existence. For Chinese painters, the appearance of the mountain is like the absolute landscape: the experience of the mountain-says Henri Maldiney-is in the chinese painting, like a vertigo which is impossible to contain and to inscribe in the things of the world! Therefore: Welcome to the mountains of Val Camonica! Take out a pen and just let the ink express your thoughts!

CHILI‘S WAY TO THE SKY

Umbrella will take a closer look at unexpected architectural gifts for different participating countries. Starting these series is a spectacular Chilean idea that takes full advantage of it’s immediate environment. Fog Towers, an idea of Alberto Fernández and Susana Ortega, succeeds in combining the sublime forces of nature with a strong visionary concept. On the driest place on earth, the Atacama desert in the north of chili, a natural phenomenon covers the soils every morning: the ‘camanchaca’ fog. These highly dense and moisturized clouds, that live at a height of 200-400m, might utilize this desert for agricultural use. Rising from the land are several gigantic helical structures that are estimated to catch an astounding 20.000 up till 200.000 liters of fresh sweet water a day. Its 400 meter high construction as a stacked weave serves to trap and wick moisture into the tower, while it‘s spiralling structure provides a large surface area that channels water into the basement. Here, trace minerals from the sea are filtered out via a reverse osmosis system, which is much more efficient than processing sea water into potable water via desalination plants. The use of the ‘camanchaca’ fog is not new to Chilean agricultural. In fact vineyards in the north have been using the system for almost half a century already. They place long horizontal nets to catch the fog and are therefore able to make a perfect climate for their grapes. But the scale and distribution of these vertical cloudscrapers could take this technology into the future.

Lecture

After April’s tragic earthquake in L’Quilia north of Rome, he co-ordinated the setup of temporary living accommodation, fresh water supply and electricity for the residents who were left homeless after the event. He works in direct co-operation with engineer’s, architects and geologists to provide relief for those affected by natural disasters in Italy. He is also involved in monitoring for the possibility of forthcoming natural disasters. Finally, he was one of the key organisers for the preparations for the funeral of Pope John Paul II.

Doctor Love column Everyday our Doctor Love will answer your question/doubts about love or relationship, or try to explain you how to hang out with girls/boys during EASA. If you ve any questions, you can send an email to umbrellanewspaper@gmail.com. Don’t be shy, not everybody took his hardrive full of porn, and we know that with the temperature… everybody getting hot. We promised that it ll be anonymous… Today we re asking Doctor Love what advices is he giving to people who want to have sex, cause the Lovebox isn’t ready yet and toilets aren’t really… well … you cant sit. And as we saw in the first page, its not the best place to have some romantic moment. Doctor Love answer Hm well, this campus is big and I think you can find a lot of opportunities to get a comfortable place. > I already noticed that the GIANT gym mat at the breakfast place is really really confortable. Ok youre quite exposed but if you manage, you can have it during the night. Watch out Giorgio who literally lives in the kitchen not far from here. nice place to go but of course there s no more bus at midnight. I think that you ve to be in a real and deep love to make such this effort, cause for just having sex, one and a half hour walking is definitely too much. [well the forest next to the road to the lake

is quite dangerous and full of spiky balls, somebody already test it for you, so don’t make the same mistakes.] > Under the stage in the party tent could be an hidden place too, but of course at night. Ronan from Ireland already try it and you can go and ask him how great was his experience. > And I think for some daily sex moment, youre allowed to try the Finnish tent next to the party tent, the temperature will obviously be 47 degree but don’t care about it, you ll for sure find some Wodka hidden under the pillow and not think about temperature. > and finally, for a comfortable place during the day, you could also find a good place to be in the UK room. Alex Maxwell got a nice blue gym mat and Im sure he ll be allright if you asked him but maybe he ll asked you for a threesome. Request aren’t all the time free. > If youve more questions or difficulties to find a place, you can also ask Jamie from the Dutch team, he really focused on it and he s able to tell you secret places.....

HAVE FUN and DONT FORGET TO ASK WHERE THE PARTY IS. =

MANIFESTO’ BRELLO

(Archymotherwhataboutfatherfesto fuck the resto) - Part Uno Umbrella decided this year to create an Architectural EASA Manifest. It is supposed to be smart, funny, ridiculous, absurd but most of all relevant. Let’s focus on what’s cool in the 21st century vs. the 20th.We all know the 20th century was coooool, think of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, shell suits, vogue, big hair, disco, asbestos, Top Gun …. what do we have today? Every umbrella will have 20 new points … please participate with fresh ideas. 1. First things first. 2. Architecture should be sexy again. The men are already, the women even more, but what about our products, and even more importantly, our processes? 3. Stay horny. 4. Sustainability should not be a goal, it should be a tool. 5. Keep it low budget, give us the cash. 6. Good architecture is not whiny. 7. Easa can change the world. Or at least the place that’s hosting us. Easa is not about architecture. Easa is about people. Just like architecture is about people. So in the end, perhaps architecture is about EASA. 8. People are to architecture what sauce is to pasta. It’s the jelly. 9. Less is more but size does matter. 10. Geometry is overrated. 11. Keep it clean and white. 12. Remember: “colours have sex”- Dijana Omeragic. F*** Pink. 13. Have a material fetish. 14. Always dance to your computer. “Or to mine”- Marten Dashorst. 15. Learn the basics, learn the technology, learn the structures and then forget it. 16. Share space. “Make sure you fill up the whole room” -Yvonne Michel. 17. Avoid fast food architecture, it’s not healthy, it can kill you in the end. 18. Recycle the cycle. 19. ... 20. If it disturbs you- it’s art.

Giorgios pieces of wisdom

“Bananas” we got red and green ones today

Giorgio and women “I am a cook, not a playboy” “I am a man. Men make mistakes”

workshop review.getting started. well, the main activities in workshops today were searching, thinking, deciding, trying to.., figuring out things, but in the end the confusion dissapeared and people started to get started. LoveBOX Tutors:Linas(LT),Petras(LT),Inga(LT),Karo lis(LT) Participants: they haven‘t really counted.. between 10 and 15.. Of course, that‘s the first worry: where is the Love Box? They have declared that the Love box exists allready in some room of the school but..it‘s SECRET! Today they‘ve been already doing some awesome experiments.Linas a.k.a Merlin, the Wizzard, and his team created a „camera obscura“, and revealed their magical powers.Okay,maybe some people call it phisycs,bla bla.. So what we know by now after this experiment is that the Love Box will be pretty dark. UUUHH!! But please watch out, not every dark box is a Love Box!..Anyway, they promised to try to be as fast as possible, so hang in there a few more days..or not! They‘re slogan is: WE WERE ALL MADE IN THE DARK! Super Architectural Defile Tutors: Loosineh(AM), MAriam(AM) Participants:6 Well, we all know the common question „Why do architects wear black?“, but from today on we might be wondering Why do architects wear BOTTLES??“ Remember not to judge people by their clothing, and in case you meet some ladies all dressed up in plastic bottles then you have to know that they are doing the Super Architectural Defile.Today they have already designed one skirt and tommorow they will have the top too so hopefully we will have some nice Cat Walk at the end. People who can‘t swim, maybe you can buy some floating swimming suit from them..
