EASA - European Architecture Students Assembly - Ireland 2008

EASA (European Architecture Students Assembly) is an annual assembly of 400 architecture students which takes place over a two week period every August. The aim of the organisation is to encourage cooperation between students from over forty European countries through the media of architectural workshops, lectures, informal debates and exhibitions. EASA is a practical network for communication, meeting and exchange; architecture students can discuss their ideas, work together and exchange their experiences concerning architecture, education or life in general. The official language of the assembly is English, and members live and work on-site for two weeks. The organisation has no standing connections with professors, academic bodies or professional bodies. You don’t need to register to an organisation, association or company or pay a periodic fee. If you want to get involved, contact the EASA representative - the National Contact or NC - of your country. Location Each Assembly concerns a singular theme, around which the lectures, workshops and activities are focused. The location of the Assembly plays a major part in how successfully the theme can be implemented. EASA_Ireland will be bi-locational, with participants arriving in Dublin and travelling across the country to Letterfrack, where the majority of the workshops will take place. This solution is intended to provoke a degree of synthesis between the locations and the theme of {Adaptation}. http://www.easa008.ie
