part 1: Lago Moro Who hasn’t yet heard about it? Even more famous then Loch Ness these days at EASA009: the lake of Moro. In idyllic surrounding in the mountains over Darfo it is THE PLACE TO BE this summer! Of course Umbrella send a team up there to bring you the freshest news..
The way up and down: level 1- for beginners: Walk all the way up until your feet hurt and your back is sunburnt. Then enjoy a very deserved swim in the lake.. level 2 – advanced: Wait for the public bus and pay 2€ (on Saturdays and Sundays) or try to get one of the very few seats in the special EASA-bus for free. Attention: this service is only provided randomly and unpredictably! Maybe you get up there but not down again.. level 3 – professional: Just ignore the sign at the beginning of the street and drive with your own car (if your lucky enough to have one) or ask your EASAfriends to give you a lift. Over midday it might be difficult to get a parking space any near the lake and you have to go back to level 1 for the last bit.. level 4 – only for women: Put on your shortest skirt and a nice top and try your luck with hitchhiking. Maybe an Italian will stop and give you a lift in his new alfa romeo.. But please don’t try that if you are not a female!

If you arrive at the lake, there are several things to spend your time with: -meet Italians and their beloved dogs -refresh yourself and get washed once again (your roommates will love you for that, Pekka! ;-p) -enjoy the landscape and the view on the curvy bus trip – but girls, we don’t mean the handsome bus driver! -get a sun tan so you can show off at home -show your new bikini/bathing suit and everything your mama gave you -experience the Adria-feeling up here in the mountains: packed like sardines in a can -get an ice-cold corona at the kiosk and try to get into a conversation with the cute girl behind the bar (solo in italiano!) For the end: Some say they have already seen it, others refuse it’s existence but the umbrella team is sure: There is a seamonster in lake moro! We talked to an old wise native who told us about the legend of “moroenormo”, the feared monster lurking under the water surface.. Just watch out and be aware of the danger underneath! PS: the umbrella team is looking for pictures of “moroenormo” in its natural habitat! So if you leave your workshop for a short break, don’t forget to take your camera with you.

Doctor Love
Horoscope
DOT TO DOT-ARCHITECTURE
Last night Dr Love was at the roof top party with almost everybody else. In a moment of awkward silence between conversations, he looked up at the stars and used his astrological prowess to deduce these nuggets of wisdom. Aries Be aware of the food you are eating. Wash your hands before the meal and remember to disinfect with any hard alcohol if you have a spare two euro. If not - steal it from your neighbours. Taurus The person you met last night will be a big influence on you this week. Decide wisely whether to ignore them or not. Gemini Do not go to the lake tomorrow. You will get sunstroke and will not be able to party for the rest of the week. Stay in the IT lab and sweat it out. Cancer Phone home, they are worried about you. Or buy a postcard in Darfo - or send a banana. Leo Dont go to the sangria party tonight, the spanish will make your brain wipe with sugary wine.Tomorrow you ll not wake up as the same person. (or maybe never wake up) Virgo Tonight is your lucky night, you dont need any shower, just keep your dirty workshop clothes.You’ ll still get laid. Libra Tonight you’re most likely to get laid. Leo Tonight you’re most likely to get laid. Sagitarius Tonight you’re most likely to get laid. Capricorn Tonight you’re most likely to get laid. Aquarius Tonight you’re most likely to get laid.

Look closer – our own buildings
With the beautiful scenery around us here in Darfo, most buildings here tend to look a bit ugly. Except perhaps that one reeeeaaally yellow building around the corner from the fruit shop, we believe butt-nasty would be the most fitting description of the state of architecture here. Then again, do we know any Italian architects besides Renzo Pianoforte? We ran a little query here at the l’Ombrello party office and that was pretty much the only one we could come up with. Anyway, the school we are staying in is pretty nasty, too. Maybe that’s the reason why there are no good architects here…. If you don’t know what it is, you’ll never miss it ;-) Let’s start with a little history. As we all know, the city we now know as Darfo Boario Terme was originally founded in 34 BC by Julius Caesar’s nanny. She was on her way to go snowboarding in Sankt Moritz, but her horse got a flat tire, exactly on the place where the tutors gym is nowadays. There was only one house, but the nanny, whose name was Dagella Darfo, was so impressed by the state-of-the-art toilet, that she decided to stay. Too bad for us, they never upgraded the toilets though. Terme is Italian for toilet, by the way. The school we are staying at was built in 1983, when education was legalized in Italy, and designed by famous local architecture

firm KaKa – they are also responsible for the workshop and events tents. The total construction costs was 24 euros – which explains the leakings when it rains – and it took 4.5 years to build. Not too quick, anyway. A quick glance at it might not make you very happy; concrete concrete concrete and aluminum windows.The inside is similarly uninteresting and linear, but also has some hidden features.

This school is the most eclectic building in the world. The amount of ripped-off elements of other famous buildings is sheer endless. It’s more eclectic than the Brussels city hall, or even Pavle’s musical taste. The staircase on the side, right next to the l’Ombrello office reminds of Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, with its roughed-up exposed concrete and sort of monolithic appearance. The staircase on the front is more reminiscent of early art deco, in the way that it expresses itself on the outside, breaking up the horizontal direction with a diagonal movement. The overall appearance is so brutal it would give both the Smithsons a hard-on. Even Alison, known amongst friends as ‘frigid brigid’. The aluminum windows give the elevations an overall cheapskate aesthetic, while the exposed HVAC ducts (why are they even there if it’s not working anyway?! It is fucking hot inside!) inspired Rogers and Piano in their iconic Centre Pompidou in Paris. The urban plan of the school is decidly Swiss in her octagonality – perfectly clean, and optimized to maximize views of the surrounding mountains, while it could have been Dutch in its clarity of concept and scheme. And, there’s even a bit of Mediterranean in it – the construction quality. Or rather, the lack of it…

SLEEP OR NO - SLEEP@EASA
Dear Diary, We all drink, the Spanish yell, the Irish sing and wrestle, the Danish dance, the Dutch create serious hi-fi noise, the Macedonians mingle, the Serbians smoke funny stuff, the Liechtensteinians speak a weird language, the Turkish smoke, the British snore like beasts, the Bosnians have photo-shoots on your bed while you sleep, the Finnish streak, the Italians swear, the Swiss’s alarm clocks go on like mad in the morning, the Polish play basketball (chill)…. We all can’t sleep until dead tired or dead drunk. We sleep on floors or stairs or bathroom tiles. We all know that architects function on minimum amount of sleep that’s why this keeps functioning. But dear architects I am sick of your shit. Sleep is good. Go-sleep-now!

First of all, this workshop is not about lovely ADOBE creation (the program with the same name). It‘s all knowing more about the photography, handmade camera obscuras, taking shots, developing and of course the mysterious dark room. One of the 11 participants even mentioned – “if anyone get inside our room – we gonna pop his eyes out!”. Scary, but still fascinating! People say, it‘s super green workshop, because of the handmade cardboard cameras, but maybe except for the using of the chemical X for developing pictures. As the result, we are looking forward to see a collage made of handprinted pictures with a touch of paints and everything that can possibly come into participants‘ mind. Talking about tutors, they‘ve been called really good and lovely... Or maybe this is based on the reaction of the mysterious dark room chemicals? Who knows, but for sure we are looking for the result.
HOW TO EVOKE THE SPIRIT TutorsMarcin Kolakowski [UK] and Alan Thompson [UK] Perhaps, it‘s the most relaxing workshop this year. You can see participants playing volleyball, enjoying the EASA summer, storytelling in the shadow. But thats not all. Probably, you‘ve already spotted a giant bamboo structure in front of the workshop tent. Yes, storytelling and the bamboo thing are closely connected. The program of the workshop is to find some stories and significant places in Darfo, build some structure of the bamboo (which appeared to be an amazing material) and erect it on the special place. Participant say it‘s all about the process – seems people are enjoying obsessed, but still very democratic tutors. Marcin been called an exceptional, arguing and talking all time long, which make him very nice tutor. Currently, there are around 14 participants, some people come over for a dramatic and very artistic lectures. So, if you feel you want to know more about the bamboo structures and opportunities of this material or simply listen/share interesting story of your own – feel free to join this workshop every time. You can find these enthusiastics inside the tutors gym or.. playing volleyball on the grass in front of the event tent.
L O V E B O X Tutors- Linas Lapinskas[LT], Petras Isora[LT], Inge Urbonait [LT], Karolis Kyzikas, [LT] Today was a special day for the LOVEBOXteam: on the lawn next to the finnish tent they laid the cornerstone of BOX_ES, the Spanish winner project of the competition held in the last days. This symbolic fist box represents the place and the start of the never ending love story called LOVEBOX. BOX_ES is going to be build in the next days and should be finished by Friday. As they still dont have the materials they asked for (!!), they talked to the owner of the supermarket, who‘s providing them with boxes every evening. The team also wants YOU to help them building, so if you‘re fed up with your workshop or just want some distraction, go to the hillside tomorrow at 11.30 am and build your love: LOVEBOX desperately needs some love!

who since he got blind have been more conscious about how to sense architecture. The magazine is made by swedish architectstudents and there is a new themeissue every semester. Most articles are in swedish, there is some in english. Since architects are not that much for reading anyway, you can do as always and have a look at the pictures, drawings and layout. You can buy the magazine for only 4 Euro, or just borrow an issue from Kajsa in the swedish team. She is in the secret workshop. If you would like to write an article for the magazine have a look at www.0Ark.se or email kajsaborjesson@hotmail.com!
