RÄGASCHIARM ISSUE THREE 26.09.2009 INCM009.li
FOUND: Iceland! There is a school or architecture in iceland, and they are really motivated to join easa and to come to INCM009! It is not yet 100% confirmed that they manage to come, but they are trying hard. Only one more country, Estonia, to be found (we’re working on that as well!) and easa would finally contain all nations of europe! Amazing! QUOTA: It wasn’t easy, but we are happy to announce, that everyone that is either NC, organizer, bidder or author of an essay and sent his application in time, got a place. We are counting 120 easians now. holy crap! We need your help more than ever! POSTERS: great work! ESSAYS: you are great minds! Keep writing please!

YOU GOT AN UPGRADE! There were almost no places for additional “helpers”. What does this mean for you? Exactly, YOU have just been upgraded to a HELPER. Gratulations! Unlike easa, INCM is one big workshop and we’re all working with the same purpose: to increase the quality of easa in the short and long-term! There are a lot of things to discuss, to work on and to produce. Everyone attending, no matter if organizer, NC or else, will join working-groups or do jobs like moderation and minute-writing. We’ll contact you before the event and suggest a job! Anyway here’s a list, which is likely to grow during the INCM:
workshop: We need to recruit some of you, that will help to prepare and conduct the workshop “the future of the profession of architecture”
easa-online: let’s leave the 20th century behind! -The new homepage easa000.net needs to get finished and filled with content! -A new blog solution for the Communication of easa needs to be found and installed.

EASA BIDDINGS
INCM009 is proud to announce two EASA011 proposals: Spain and Romania. The 19OCT09 will be a very interesting day!
EASA011 Spain After 29 years in the organization, Spain has decided it is time to propose EASA in one of the most southwestern parts of Europe. deCOASTruction wills to establish a strong relation between site and theme, that is, between the coast and the deconstruction the Spanish shoreline has experienced over the last decades due to the fast speculative development. People from Spain and all over the World caused this process and now students of architecture from all over Europe will have the chance first-hand of providing creative inputs to combat this phenomenon.”
EASA011 Romania “We are proud of being part of a generation that has been evolving so much in such few decades. The help of CAD softwares from the last years has been a bless to architecture all over the world. The sizes of our projects increased, the structures are getting “harder, better, faster, stronger” each day and the mentality of architects is changing towards a different view. All these being part of our future life, we now say “f**k that s**t!” and let’s go back to the roots for a while! What we are proposing for 2011 is a no-technology Easa on the Black Sea coast line. Let’s give up computers and power tools for a while and see how we can manage to make something almost out of nothing! We are going to focus on the first purpose of architecture, that of a shelter. Let’s get out of the time context and create an easa village to see how a small scale society can evolve in a small time scale without the modern resources. We are going to test our addiction to technology in a natural environment that will be our home for two crazy weeks in the sun. How, when, where, why?!?.the answers are coming soon!:)”

Berlin once was a flourishing metropolis with more than 4 million habitants competing with others such as London and Paris. With the seperation of the country Berlin lost its importance within Europe. Since the unification the city experienced a constant fluctuation of habitants keeping its size to 3.5 million and leaving a lot of space for new ideas. It now looks for a new identity in the 21st century. Germany wants to invite you to its capital in 2010 to experience its current development.
INCM010 Copenhagen, Denmark The theme is ’community’. From the individual sense of belonging to a bigger regional perspective. An important current issue within urban planning and many other fields. We will use the oppertunity of INCM to set the EASA-experience in relation to examples of community in Copenhagen and Malmö – the new Øresundsregion. INCM will be located on the edge between city and suburbia. A former school, a beautiful modernist building, looking for a new function. Surrounded by a modernist utopia: concrete blocks full of social problems. (http://www.arkitekturbilleder.dk/billedbasen/bygning.php?id=453)
During the INCM we want to examine EASA based on this context, and strengthen the notion and structure of this unique architectural community. We want INCM010 to be an intimate community where everyone contributes to the event. INCM010 Ohrid, Macedonia After the fabulous SESAM006 experience, we would like to take the EASA community out east once again. We offer an unforgettable Balkan train trip to Bitola, after to Ohrid where the INCM will take place. Ohrid is located in the southwestern part of Macedonia and it is unique for having 365 churches, one for each day of the year. It is rich in picturesque houses and monuments, tourism is predominant. The city of Ohrid lays on the shores of Lake Ohrid which straddles the mountainous border between the southwestern Republic of Macedonia and eastern Albania. It is one of Europe’s deepest and oldest lakes, today protected by UNESCO. In the middle of the INCM010 we plan an excursion to eastern Macedonia, where there will be a hiking trip to famous old monasteries. Right after we will see some of the old Ottoman architecture to offer a diverse cultural experience. Macedonia, the heart of the Balkans (Turkish: Bal= honey, Kan= blood), is expecting you for a great EASA experience of mixed culture, architecture and religion. We hope to get to host all of you our friends, because we are your friends!
