THE SPIRIT
Impressions Below are some selected memories from past EASA events. “Utopia that has unbelievably become reality.” _ Pekka Ijäs, Finland “EASA is the place where architecture is redefi ned by the differences and similarities of the participants’ cultural backgrounds. EASA is a social experiment on an architectural level.” _ George Kapraras, Greece “EASA is a chance to live a social experiment of 2 weeks in a European country. 400 students organise a collective life together, it becomes an ephemeral society which allows cultural exchanges through workshops, lectures, parties.” _ Elsa Deconchat, France “Easa is a unique experience where I learned to push my limits. It gives
me the possibility to travel and meet wonderful people from all over Europe. It changed my life and made me a better person!” _ Kuba Ulb, Germany “The best young architects’ network! Discussion, ideas exchange and friendship!” _ Adam Myczkowski, Poland
EASA is a short term world, parallel to the real one, but completely open, providing a testing ground which would otherwise never be. _ Thomas Cattrysse, Belgium The most important thing that EASA gives me is the chance to test my abilities in a large pool of contemporaries and experience architecture as a part of life and not in the uniformed way we perceive it while in school. _ Aleksandra Poljanec, Croatia “Hard to define, easy to feel!” _ Common, timeless _ Impressions are courtesy of Zsofia Vanscura who questioned the NCs present at the INCM012 in Vienna. 5

The main activities are various practical and theoretical workshops held by skilled tutors, accompanied by lectures by local and international architects .

THE NETWORK
It is very hard to define what EASA is. Technically it is a Network, the biggest architecture students network in Europe. The European Architecture Students Assembly has more than a three-decade-long tradition. It was established in 1981 in Liverpool with the purpose of connecting with students from other European countries. Attendees exchange experiences and cultural knowledge, ideas and thoughts, through which they study the hosting place, make proposals for development issues, include the local
The Network moves to a new venue every year, providing fresh views and challenges in practical spatial design and theory. The organizing process is run by individual volunteers, who make the core of the assembly by combining the location and theme, finding partners and sponsors. The Network and its events always happen at a certain location for a specific reason. This can arise from the desire to socialize, create, learn, change, draw attention to problems, civil initiative etc. The success of the assembly depends on everyone’s personal involvement, i.e. ‘the more you put in it, the more you get out of it’. For two weeks the EASA community becomes self-sufficient. It brings a unique creative spirit among the participants, also known as the EASA Spirit which is difficult to describe but easy to feel. History In 1981 about three hundred students gathered to work on the theme ‘starting up the EASA experience’. Since
then there have been assemblies in different countries with 400 to 500 attendees each year: > 1981 LIVERPOOL (UK) > 1982 DELFT (NL) > 1983 LISBOA (PT) > 1984 AARHUS (DK) > 1985 ATHENS (GR) > 1986 TORINO (IT) > 1987 HELSINKI (FI) > 1988 BERLIN (DE) > 1989 MARSEILLE (FR) > 1990 KARLSKRON (SE) > 1991 KOLOMNA (USSR) > 1992 ÜRGÜP (TR) > 1993 SANDWICK (UK, Scotland) > 1994 LIEGE (BE) > 1995 ZAMOSC (PL) > 1996 CLERMONT L’HERAULT (FR) > 1997 THE TRAIN (Scandinavia) > 1998 VALETTA (MT) > 1999 KAVALA (GR) > 2000 ANTWERP/ROTTERDAM > 2001 GÖKÇEADA (TR) > 2002 VIS (HR) > 2003 FRILAND (DK) > 2004 ROUBAIX (FR) > 2005 BERGUN (CH) > 2006 BUDAPEST (HU) > 2007 ELEFSINA (GR) > 2008 LETTERFRACK (IE) > 2009 DARFO (IT) > 2010 MANCHESTER (UK) > 2011 CADIZ (ES) > 2012 HELSINKI (FI) > 2013 ŽUŽEMBERK (SI) 7

THE ASSEMBLY
During the two-week-long workshops students will use their academic knowledge in practice, make analyses and concepts, develop their ideas, debate, socialize, solve issues within work groups, exchange ideas and experiences. They will interact with the surroundings, learn how to use tools for material treatment, work with the locals and be introduced to local crafts. Within two weeks the workshops, which might be only at the stage of an idea or conceptual design, will be brought to a realization. They will be concluded with an evaluation and presented at an exhibition. The EASA network stimulates intercultural dialogue. It encourages the col-
There are different attendees at EASA. Organizers provide accommodation and food, coordinate workshops and sponsors, organize lectures and different collateral events and activities during the assembly. Helpers are usually old easians, helping at the infodesk, lending tools and working in the bar. The backbone of the assembly are the tutors, who run various workshops selected among all the received proposals. They coordinate and lead participants in their work and oversee the results. The participants are the biggest group of people at EASA, representing almost 50 countries around Europe and even outside the continent. They live, work and have fun together for two weeks. Their day starts at about 8am with breakfast. followed by a workshop day. Dinner at 7pm is followed by lectures at dusk and night programme right after. Excursion around Slovenia, sport activities and pop-up workshops are arranged in between to keep the spirit of interaction alive. 9

THE VENUE
Forests, river and a castle The criteria for the selection of the venue arose from the natural conditions of the Slovene land, which is green and blue; vast forests and a rich and clean water system. By focusing on nature and the countryside, it became clear that the theme will function very locally with a touch of the global. The castle became the icing on the cake – as a symbol of cultural heritage, the token of history, the object
Žužemberk is situated on both banks of the river Krka and is the capital of Suha Krajina (Dry land), a part of Lower Carniola region in the southeast of Slovenia. The town was and still is dominated by a medieval castle surrounded by strong castle walls. The castle is uniquely placed in the very center of the town, being a vital part of the central square. Historically the development of the Dry valley was affected by its inhabitants, first the Illyrians and Celts, and later the Romans who built an important road through it. From the village a medieval market town Žužemberk evolved. The present day site developed around the castle, from which the name Žužemberk originates. Since iron was excavated in the nearby courtyard, called Einsenberg (today’s Zafara), the castle was given the name Seinsenberg, which the local people changed to Žužemberk. The river Krka has one of the most picturesque tufa waterfalls or barriers right under the castle. This geographical characteristic was very useful for
building mills, which were once an essential infrastructure for local farmers. Krka used to be full of well known crabs, which were regarded as one of the most delicious dishes at the imperial court in Vienna. In the summer, the river offers different possibilities for sports and activities such as rafting, bathing and fishing. In a way Žužemberk is a miniature Slovenia with its natural beauties, forests and a clean river as well as problems of division among people; this division showed its cruelest form during World War II when both sides took up arms. After the war the town was reconstructed, the church removed and a swift industrialization occurred. New settlements sprung up next to existing ones; shock workers came, who did not get along with the old inhabitants. Thus immigration started decreasing in the 1970s, people moved away to bigger cities and returned to Žužemberk only during the weekends. Mid 1990s the slow awakening of national consciousness stimulated the revitalization of the castle ruins and the parish church on the hill. After Slovenia’s emancipation divisions among people and attempts to appropriate community property reappeared. Nowadays Žužemberk and Slovenia are in a recession, people are moving away, a new development strategy is wanted. 11

“When we established the Board for renovation in 1996, we realized that communities which do not respect their history are not worth a future. We were aware of the financial difficulty of this project, but also of Krek’s motto: It has to be started, that’s the whole secret.” _ Slavko Gliha, president of the Board for renovation of the castle

THE THEME
Reaction The EASA theme works as a frame; on its basis students think, research and create. It can be oriented very architecturally or simply socially. Reaction as such refers to the people, to villagers, to the response to the state of society. Nowadays active involvement into processes that change our environment is very important. The theme Reaction explores the possibility and the importance of the public’s participation in shaping the space through researching the past, the cultural and social background. On the one hand Reaction is very locally oriented, on the other it explores
similar issues in other parts of the world. How to properly react to the current situation with the world crisis and consumer society? What is actually the architect’s primary job and the job of architecture? How can we help the community when designing public space, even when the architect’s direct influence is not present? How to preserve the knowledge, skills and qualities of construction and design from the past? The theme Reaction is a very wide notion, one that can be interpreted differently by each participant. It is only important that everyone asks themselves how an individual can contribute to a higher quality of coexistence. The theme Reaction is divided into three practical sub-themes, linked to location, tradition and craftsmanship. The three subthemes were not chosen randomly, but follow the classical division of EASA workshops into theoretical, practical and workshops which combine the two. Workshops revealed Below are presented the selected workshops through the workshop proposals call. The organizing team received 61 applications, from which 30 workshops were selected and will be carried out during the XXXIII. European Architecture Students Assembly in Žužemberk. 17
Make me think Ludwig Wittgenstein Make me react Bruce Nauman Make me create EASA An architectural creation-method of modern philosophy and contemporary art. The workshop is a combination of a theoretical starting point that discusses a philosophical point of view with an artistic method through which an architectural result can be achieved. The theoretical investigation will generate architectural design and construction. At first, participants will be given a mini-lecture on specific writings by Wittgenstein and on the ways in which these thoughts have been incorporated into Bruce Nauman’s work. An easy-to-build installation will be constructed and carefully studied.
Tutors Manos Chatzinikolaou, Greece Myrsini Alexandridi, Greece 18
...city is my playground! The idea of this workshop is to introduce different types of street art interventions to the participants and share the “know how” with them. In the first phase, through a series of short lectures, sketching sessions, drawing exercises etc. participants will learn how to make 5 different types of street art interventions - stencils, paste-ups, stickers, interventions with paint and interventions with spray cans. The second phase is reserved for “reaction” - participants will try to find a “surface” or a place where they can make a site-specific intervention. We will also try to direct them to make a collaboration with people from other workshops.
Towards the typology of black fire There will be smaller scale technical and learning exercises followed by the construction of a small pavilion building by using deconstructive processes as a method of physical and psychological construction. The outcomes will be a repository/archive of the psychological ideas that the participants go through over the course of the two weeks. This will support the construction of a small pavilion, using in-situ cast concrete. At the end of the workshop the formwork will be burnt, leaving an area where one can take refuge from thoughts, excesses, work etc. amongst the embers. It will be a nexus for the four elements of the world (earth, water, air, fire).
Tutors Andrej Zikic, Serbia Chrisa Gkolemi, Greece Etienne Godfrin, France
Tutor Alex Maxwell, UK
ŽUŽ UP This workshop is a combination of theoretical and practical types. Theory observes the basics of animation, various examples and the analysis of Slovenian tales. The second part is the interpretation of the stories and through documentation interacting with the local landscape and creating a movie for the interpreted Slovenian tales. “ŽUŽ UP” workshop is strongly connected with Slovenian written background as the analysis of local tales will we included. Myths and legends will be interpreted today with its unique surroundings and local spirit. We will take advantage of Žužemberk’s urban fabric and environmental features.
Tutors Milda Kulvičiūtė, Lithuania Evelina Vasiliauskaitė, Lithuania Joris Šykovas, Lithuania
EASA TV EASA TV is about EASA participants, tutors, helpers, organizers, friends, family and guests. EASA TV is about the context, the theme and the country. EASA TV is about EASA. EASA TV tries to cover as much of the assembly as possible and the material is then edited, screened on site at the assembly and uploaded to YouTube. About 3 groups of 3 participants work in teams and create movies about EASA. Tutors are to give information and help participants to create their own movies.
What makes this city yours? The workshop will have both a practical and a theoretical output. The theoretical part of mapping the village Žužemberk and its surrounding area in various ways is combined with a direct exploration on site. The analysis and information collected is then put onto diverse maps, which will be the base to create interactive games used as a communication tool with the locals and inhabitants.

Light paraSITE The workshop is about enlightening different zones of Žužemberk which are now abandoned, but have a great potential. With our workshop we would like to highlight these sites and the nature of Žužemberk, to become more exposed and activated. The most noticeable symbol of the city is its castle, because of which other areas have become overlooked. With that in mind we would first like to deal with the river, old tannery, mill and the round path. These four light installations would serve as the first part of the workshop, where we would get to know the new environment and people.
Tutors Brina Vizjak Slovenia Sara Badovinac, Slovenia 20
://Diffr_action The workshop is the exploration of light through different mediums. The workshop shall begin with theoretical discussions and an investigation, the result will be multiple small installations including lasers, mirrors and string art, leading to one large interactive space. The constructive side of ://Diffr_Action will in no means be a ‘build’, however a formal location for the final output would eventually be required. This can be a reaction to on site spaces formed within the EASA camp.
Floatptures This is a constructive workshop about designing floating sculptures from polystyrene which are laminated into a solid shape. Every participant will have the option to make his own individual floating device and after completion enjoy drifting down the river Krka.

Illumidentity Shaping new identity through light projection / mapping - interweaving and multilayering of traditional local craftsmanship and new digital media. The process will consist of tracing the past, local identity, history and tradition, mapping the present, perception-shift & deconstruction of reality, interconnection and response and lastly facing future, dreams and reaction. The workshop consists of two main tasks performed by two work-groups. The construction group focuses on the building of the surface and/or structure on which it will be projected. Meanwhile the mapping group will focus on programming the visuals and thus enhance the theme with a theoretical background. Tutors Christof Mathes, Austria Matthias Klapper , Austria Lisa Weinsberger, Austria
Trap of a monster We would like to explore the concept of trapping and hunting literally and metaphorically: good public space ensnares citizens by providing an opportunity for social interaction. The theoretical basis of the workshop is focused on discussing social issues in the city, creating and using “traps”. In the constructive part of the workshop we would like to examine different types of traps for hunting animals, birds, fish, crustaceans. Afterwards tutors, together with participants and local craftsmen, will design a social trap - a market pavilion/shelter in public space. During the last days we will organize a fishing championship among EASA participants. Fish will be fried and sold right in the trap. Tutors Inesa Kovalova, Ukraine Kseniia Pundyk, Ukraine Alan Thompson, UK
EASA FM This is a workshop combining the technical with the creative. As we want to react as well as interact, a radio station offers us the best possibilities to do so. Learning how to collect what’s going on around us, and cutting it in a way to be able to communicate it, we can work with the idea of letting the global world get in touch with the local one.

Tapaland 2.0 The international quest for the most delicious medieval snack. Each day another European country is welcome to cook with us their delicious native deli! At the end of the day we can sell the food to all the participant after all the hours of hard work on all the workshops!
Soundscape The sound as a semantic break point and a parameter, creates a new dimension of understanding the surroundings. The free adaption of sound in various environments, or vice versa, enables the unexpected to happen. The word experimental is the best description for our workshop. It’s a workshop that involves an individual and architectural space and poetical relation in between them.
Light me up Experimenting with light, using optical fibers, creating interactive installations, looking for new ways to be playful and create a project that consists of individual reactions to the theme, set up and frame of mind of EASA participants in Slovenia. Using existing, organic elements of nature and converting them into light installations, trying to accentuate the positive voids and nooks, reactivating and activating through simple injections of life/light. We are expecting full interest from the participants and freedom while creating the whole project, with minimal input and guidelines from the tutors during the creation period.

“Set theory” workshop As Žužemberk’s population is divided into different groups and used to be divided in its history (communists and anticommunists, Catholics and Protestants, city folk and farmers, liberals and clericalists, etc.), we would like to take these groups as mathematical sets and through the workshop’s participatory nature find their intersections (a population which will be a member of both sets). Hopefully the intersection will grow in the future with its ultimate point being the blending of the two sets into one.
Tales of Žužemberk This is a workshop about expressing oneself visually and verbally in the format of a picture book. The main idea is to reflect the emotions that Žužemberk with its people and nature evokes in oneself and through those reflections draw other people’s attention to those emotions. The stories could be concerned with certain social problems or embrace something specifically positive. They can be expressed through painting, poetry, making collages, drawing or prose. The main restriction is that it has to be visual as well as verbal and that those two things have to work together.

Holy moley As Žuzemberk and the river krka have a big history with water mills, we want to take this part of its history and reinterpret the use of water mills. We will build a typical water mill wheel out of wood, connected to a well designed balk to produce electricity that enables the lighting of the balk with romantic kitschy fairy lights. This way we show how the moving water of the river can be used in a historical and effective way - but for a modern kind of absurd easa-style use.
Tutors Lena Kohlmayr, Austria Kerstin Kerstl, Austria Jakob Braun, Germany 23
Accordion The aim of our workshop is to develop one or two 1:1 installations. The structures will have a resolved component system that explores the performance of the thin wooden slates as well as a joining system. The structures will be developed from their sites, responding to the location through questions of light, wind, and behaviour. We expect for the final exhibit to have one or two different installations in different sites, depending if we, together with the participants, find it appropriate. Still, we find it most important in our workshop to focus on the process, to inspire the participants through practical experiments where they get the chance to explore and experience the materials’ possibilities and limitations with their own hands. Tutors Elias Lindhoff, Denmark Sebastian Mardi, Denmark 24
Small interventions Small Interventions is one of the longest running workshops throughout EASA history; even though it was absent during the last assembly in Helsinki. The workshop will be divided into 3 separate phases. First, participants will wander around, searching for a site and/or an issue they want to focus on. Then they will design a “small intervention” that will solve, improve or brighten the particular site condition. Through theoretical work, models and detail plans they will also define a “generic” description and a construction manual of their intervention. Finally, they will build that “small intervention” on the chosen site.
Tutors Hugo Pointallart, France Lucia Brandoli, Italy Romea Muryn, Poland Janine Tuechsen, Germany
Analogue adventures The workshop will be divided into three main themes: man, architecture and man animating architecture. These themes will be addressed throughout the duration of the assembly and built together to form a portfolio documenting the genius loci of Žužemberk. For each theme there are three sub categories which explore a wide variety of photographic topics and techniques. Participants will be encouraged to expose the hidden architecture within familiar and everyday situations and places, capturing moments in a unique and fairly unpredictable way and presenting images that are more an interpretation of reality than a correct representation of it.
Tutors Helena Mouton, South Africa Lisa Henderson, South Africa
City bot We think that the time of new cybernetic personalities is coming; it is currently working on the internet as different apps, gadgets and internet bots. These new personalities are playing the role of interdisciplinary and intercultural translators. With the help of them people more freely understand each other. And architecture should react to that challenge of contemporaneity. The aim is to make an experimental installation with an object of a new type into the urban environment. We will analyze the information layer of local traditional culture. Then we will design and build the interactive installation City Bot. We plan to make interactions with video sensors, visual projections and sounds.
Oursoftrefuge The aim is to generate interactions between the users and make social, spatial experiences in that elastic woven space. During the research and construction part we would like to work with locals and participants as well. Our goal is for everybody to learn some specific woven techniques and construct a space where they can float - meanwhile experiencing another kind of architecture. The end result will be an elastic woven space and everybody will be invited to try the floating experience using the structure. We would like for the space to be permanent so that locals may use it after EASA has left the area.
Rekukivate! In aesthetical theory the body is used to be seen as the instrument which is used by the mind to perceive the world and to get the sensual input to be processed and reflected by our mentality. According to the relatively young aesthetical discipline Somaesthetics, the body with all its abilities is way more important for experiencing and reflecting the world - it’s not just a machine but in fact cannot be separated from the mind. The dualism of body and mind is now being doubted. Somaesthetics provides new methods of generating awareness of physical existence as well as interactions. With these techniques we are able to listen to the whispering of built objects.

Onion Any form of reaction / interaction or the sum of those causing any kind of human interrelation of various levels starts from the simplest form of coexistence – sharing a mutual space. If we tried to imagine the very primitive form of coexistence of human beings, there would be no cultural or historical backgrounds, no language, no symbolic values and no other means of communication but the pure presence or the sum of ‘presences’ being dropped together. The workshop we are proposing suggests one to experience such kind of pure relation, isolated from the rest of the system, making the natural - human-senses based - reaction so complicated in the environment we outlive. Tutors Justinas Jakstonis, Lithuania Elžbieta Bortkevič, Lithuania Viktorija Rimkute, Lithuania 26
Knots, nets and netwoks The premise for this workshop is to uncover unique and robust strategies by way of material logics and tectonic assembly, for the production of a quasi architectural folly. Students will explore material logics in two vital ways: through a given material (rope) and a local site material, in which the proposition of a site specific installation will germinate. These interventions are meant to be reactionary architectural propositions that will conceptually and materially engage the rich context of Žužemberk. Through exploring various knotting techniques and net assemblies, students will be equipped with malleable interventions that can be adapted and heightened by local spaces. Tutors Simon Battisti, USA Jose Mayoral Moratilla, Spain Sean Canty, USA
Umbrella Umbrella is the longest existing workshop at EASA, being there every summer and producing newspapers with fresh news, experiences, insights every day. Umbrella is a specific workshop where people learn how to work together, to get to the point of every workshop in a very short period of time, how to interest and attract people, how to speak without SAYING a word and mainly how to make and support the easa spirit. We write about easians and watch their reaction.

llustration/illumination Žužemberk is a canvas, waiting to be exhibited. The source of our material will be the local folklore, history, our personal reactions and we want to illustrate this with projections, colour, shade and reflections, which will always be in confrontation with their environment. We are inspired by simple, site-specific interventions that have a beauty in today’s saturated and generic surroundings and think Žužemberk is the perfect place to explore and display this approach.
Tutors Karolina Przybyła, Poland Michal Switalsk, Poland
Endor Tree houses and tree cities have been a huge fantasy of our generation and mayor dream scenarios or locations both in movies and in most people’s dreams. Endor is a workshop that attempts to build one of those tree cities in the woods of Žužemberk, but with the aesthetics and techniques of modern architecture rather than those of fantasy or sci-fi movies. The project consist of several 20m2 modules supported by the trees at heights that vary from 2 to 6 metres from the ground interconnected by footbridges and walkways. Built with wood and steel we hope to leave behind a different and structurally sound leisure area for the people of Žužemberk to enjoy.
International competition An international pavilion competition is a sort of catalyst of the EASA event between the organizers, the participants and the sponsors. It starts already prior to the meeting, connects the participants during the meeting and remains at the location after the meeting to commemorate the event and in honour of the hosting venue. Construction of a permanentpavilion or installation is an idea that has been implemented since 2003. The workshop is linked to a specific site for which students offer possible solutions. The proposals are then reviewed and evaluated by a competition committee, convened for that purpose.

HOW WOULD YOU CONTRIBUTE?
The costs of EASA events are partially covered by registration fees and partly through institutions that support science, research, art and culture. Being a sponsor of an EASA event means supporting a leading international network in this field, providing students of architecture an incomparable chance to interact with colleagues from different cultural and ideological spheres. In this way, companies have the opportunity to get near students who understand the concept of globalisation and internationalisation, knowledge sharing, understand architecture, art and their implementation. The participants of an EASA event are students and young architects, who are active and progressive in their profession. The Association of students of architecture EASA Slovenia is looking for companies, which are willing to support the EASA013 event in Žužemberk, Slovenia that will be carried out during the first two weeks of August. We are ready to arrange different ways of support or partnership options. It is all just a matter of desire. 29

Prior to those there was an INCM hosted in Ljubljana in 1993 and again ten years later in 2003. The team of students who run the association and take part in the assemblies has always been pretty strong. There are still connections with Slovenian ex-easians, some of which are even professors at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana and the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Maribor.
