EASA/INCM EASA The European Architecture Students’ Assembly [EASA] is a network of architecture students from all over the continent. Every summer this takes place in a different country whereby almost 600 design students, graduates and tutors live together in a self-sustaining, community-like setting. The assembly takes place over two weeks and includes lectures, building and theoretical workshops, as well as other cultural and architectural endeavors. EASA acts as a platform for the exchange of social, architectural and cultural experiences. The main focus of the summer assembly is the workshops, where around 30 groups of students work on a small project for two weeks. The workshops are always linked to the main theme of each summer assembly but they can range from discussing hypotheses and concepts to photography of local people to cooking of food and to the construction of small houses. At the end the two weeks everyone is able to present what they have developed and produced throughout the assembly. The workshops allow the participants to broaden their thinking, share knowledge and learn new skills.

INCM INTERMEDIATE NATIONAL CONTACT MEETING EASA introduced the INCM for the first time in 1990 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The second meeting was held the following year in Berlin Lichterfelde, where the ‘Lichterfelde Statement’ was written down, this statement is now known as the ‘EASA Guide’ and is updated each year at the INCM. The INCM is a meeting of the representatives from each of the countries involved in the EASA network. It takes place during autumn and mainly consists of debates, discussions and conferences on EASA’s organizational issues, as well as exploring a theme in a smaller scale than during the summer assembly. At INCM, countries bid to host future events, the location of the next summer assembly is decided two years in advance and the location of the next INCM is decided one year in advance. What is remarkable about this decision making process is that no decision is final until consensus has been reached between more than 100 National Contacts. It usually takes an entire day to reach consensus for each event.

INCM LAPLAND 2017
This year the Intermediate National Contacts’ Meeting is organized by EASA Finland in Oulu and Inari, in Finland for the first time in EASA history. INCM Lapland 2017 will take place from November 17th - 26th, 2017. We have people joining us from more than 50 countries! We are extremely excited about having reclaimed connections to a few lost countries as well and therefore, we would like to welcome Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Wales to the EASA community! We hope that this INCM will be a memorable event and fruitful experience for everyone taking part in it. Our journey in organizing INCM Lapland 2017 has been long but simultaneously extremely rewarding, but the greatest reward of all is still ahead, and that is seeing it all happen and come together. We are incredibly excited to welcome you all to the northernmost event ever in the history of EASA, INCM Lapland 2017!

E X P E C TAT I O N S We see there are high expectations for INCM Lapland 2017 and we asked from all of you about them, so here are a few examples: “Do next EASA’s have to be more and more comfortable and casual or the hippy-ish way of life plays specific role in EASA spirit?” “Considering the fact that EASA Lithuania faced serious financial issues due to the debt, it would be a good idea to discuss moneyrelated issues.” “In Fredericia I really began to be captivated by the ‘spirit’ which seems to connect and drive us all to continue to expand and progress the growth and development of our community and its output. The theme for INCM Lapland of ‘Impact/Intact’ not only resonates with themes I have sought to question through own personal architectural study and practice, but, following my experience in Fredericia, seems to be of critical importance to the sustainable future of EASA more generally. I hope the event will allow us to explore the legacy of EASA both in terms of the impact we leave behind on the community and ‘environment’ after an event has been completed but also how we envision projecting EASA into the future.” “Food policy for next EASAs, meat as option, vegetarian as the norm, way cheaper and easier to organize.” “To kindly introduce the new generation of NCs to our circle as there is going to be a lot of them. To re-remind the importance of this position. Rethinking the concept of ‘consensus’.” We’ve provided you with hospitality and the framework, now it’s your turn to get active and begin the discussion!

I M PA C T / I N TA C T
The theme for INCM Lapland 2017 is Impact/Intact. The theme is visible throughout INCM not only in the location and program of the event, but also in its organization. The theme Impact/Intact strives to spark discussion about the relationship between humans and our environment its broadest sense. The theme aims to explore the impact our choices have both domestically and professionally, and how consciously we make these altering choices. The theme encourages everyone to evaluate and compare the permanency of the impact their choices have with surroundings that would otherwise remain intact. We wish to evaluate the kind of impact events like EASA have, or the built environment we as architects design, or even the impact our decisions as individual members of society have on our environment. What does intact nature mean to us? Does it have significance? Architects stand in a position of influence in this regard and it is our responsibility to rethink what kind of impact we are having as designers. We need to review and reevaluate our relationship with the remaining intact environment.

WASTE Every year 100 million tons of plastic waste end up in oceans, it never decomposes, but only breaks into microplastics and ends up in our food and drinks. 4,5 billion cigarette butts are left in surroundings to free toxins to the nature. 1,3 billion tons of food goes to waste, which is 1/3 of all produced food and could have fed 3 billion people. Could we as individuals or as architects have an impact on people’s behavior and the amount of produced waste? Examples of how long some products take to decompose in nature: paper napkin cigarette butt chewing gum plastic bag glass bottle
1 - 2 years 10 - 15 years 25 years 50 - 100 years 1000000 years
As EASA events gather together more than 500 people together for two weeks, we as a community produce plenty of waste. One of our goals in INCM Lapland 2017 is directly linked to our theme impact/intact: we want to pay attention to the amount of waste we produce as an event and as individuals in everyday life, take into consideration if there is something we could do with our choices to retain a healthy and clean environment, or if we could design something to help guide our behavior towards a more positive direction.
16
We aim to have minimum impact on the environment and to create a more eco-friendly event, trying to reduce the amount of waste and recycle as well as we can. We want you to help us with the recycling and not to produce unnecessary waste, such as food waste. Also keeping the locations of our events clean is essential and we hope you to put all the waste into bins and to not throw cigarette butts on the ground. Leave the places after you in order, in a way how you would like them to be the next time you come back to that space. Particularly in Lapland, we are in the middle of intact, delicate nature. Let’s all respect our surroundings and think of how to keep it so.
17
FOOD 70 % of all the world’s agricultural land is used as pastures or to grow fodder for livestock. Seven kilos of grain is needed to produce one kilo of pork meat, 11 kilos of grain and 15 500 litres of water for one kilo of beef. Livestock produces methane gas, which heats up climate 34 times more than carbon dioxide. Meat is mass produced to meet its demand and therefore animals are treated with antibiotics to keep them healthy and selectively breed so that they will grow fast to go to slaughter. Animals are stressed and the meat they live to produce does not justify these conditions. Not only meat, but also milk products, such as cheese, have a massive carbon dioxide load on climate. Examples of some products climate impact in carbon dioxide kilos: kg CO2-ekv/kg Beef 15 Cheese 13 Pork 5 Fish 1,7 Dried bean 0,7 Berries, potato, seasonal vegetables 0,2 At INCM Lapland, we will serve almost entirely vegetarian or vegan food for all our participants. By that we want to decrease the emissions of our event and encourage people to decrease meat consumption in everyday life. By including sources of plant proteins such as different kinds of seeds, nuts, beans and peas to vegetarian diet it is easy to create a healthy and eco-friendly meals every day. Also, healthwise it is recommended to eat meat only once or twice a week.
18
In addition, reducing food waste is one of our goals, so by having less options for different diets, we hope the amount of food going to waste will be less. On the last day of INCM in Inari we will have a traditional reindeer stew meal, made with locally produced reindeer meat. With this meal we want our guests to have a chance to taste traditional food of Lapland and also encourage choosing sustainably and locally produced meat when eating it. We can help to create a sustainable circle of food production by choosing well produced meat and decreasing meat consumption and guarantee humane conditions for animals, decrease the creation of methane emissions, save delicate nature from deforestation and feed more people with the grain that goes to feed the livestock.

Due to this, the city needed to be built anew. The reindeer population in the province roughly equals that of the people The Sami people (also Sámi or Saami, traditionally known in English as Lapps or Laplanders) are indigenous Finno-Ugric people inhabiting the Arctic area of Sápmi The Sami people of Northern Finland have a unit of measurement called the ‘poronkusema’ – the distance a reindeer can walk before needing to urinate the only real and official Santa lives in Lapland

OULU/ULEÅBORG location: 65°01´N, 025°28’E by the Gulf of Bothnia in the region of Northern Ostrobothnia (Oulu is not part of Lapland) around 600 kilometres north of Helsinki (540 km straight line distance).
Why Oulu? Most of our INCM team lives and studies in Oulu which is home to the northernmost architecture school in the world – Oulu School of Architecture in University of Oulu. We see Oulu as a city full of potential for growing and being a living city with beautiful surroundings. However, we also see it as a city not utilizing its full potential. The population is quite young, with a lot of students – Oulu is one of the youngest cities in Europe – but the decisions the city makes do not always reflect this. We see a problem with the land use in Oulu and feel that the city is designed predominantly for cars. That’s not the impact we want to make.
Why now? Cold wind, sleet, darkness. Be prepared. There is something special and magical about this dark season here. It may seem depressing, but when there is light at this time of year it’s incredibly beautiful. This also shows you the reality of living here in the north.

25
Basic info about Oulu: Oulu was based in 1605 which makes it the oldest city of Northern Finland. It is the fifth largest city in Finland with a population of 201 124 inhabitants. Oulu is dominated by the beautiful river delta of Oulujoki. The small islands in the delta area are very popular for outdoor activities and jogging. There are many pedestrian bridges connecting these islands not only for walking but cycling as well. Oulu is a particularly good city for cycling and it’s also known for this. There is an extensive cycling network in the city that extends from one district to another and even to the surrounding municipalities. Many cycling lanes are maintained throughout the winter season, allowing locals to cycle year-round.
26
One of the best known cultural exports of the city of Oulu is the Air Guitar World Championships which brings together people from all over the world showing their best moves and skills as entertainers. Oulu is also known for Mieskuoro Huutajat (also known as Screaming Men) and Oulu Music Video Festival. Oulu is a city for dancing. It is very active city for dancers and dance lovers in Finland – street dance, contemporary dance, ballet and folk dance. Oulu has established a reputation in Finland and abroad as a city of advanced technology. The University of Oulu is known for its studies in advanced technology alongside with Oulu Game Lab in the University of Applied Sciences.

INARI/AANAAR/ANÁR/AANAR I N A R I SA M I
NORTHERN SAMI S KOLT SAMI
location: 68°54’18’’N 027°01’49’’E in the region of Northern Lapland around 1150 kilometres north of Helsinki (978 km straight line distance)
Why Inari? Fitting to our theme, we wanted to show you a place that still has plenty of intact nature, a place of magical beauty, a place like Lapland. These northern places are extremely delicate to the impact of climate change. We feel that places like Inari are very precious for us all: amidst everything humans have built in this world, it is crucial to also have places where people don’t intervene with nature and instead preserve it for future generations. Why now? Polar night, snow, the possibility to see northern lights. It’s a very extreme season in the north. We wanted to have this event when there is already snow on the ground and the darkness is dominant. It’s not absolutely dark all day long, the sun simply doesn’t rise above the horizon almost at all. When there is that little bit of light, it’s wonderfully pink and colourful – sunrise and sunset all at once.
28
29
Basic info about Inari: Inari is Finland’s largest municipality according to the area and also the most sparsely populated municipality with a population density of 0.45 inhabitants /km2. Inari has a population of 6 830 of which 400 people have registered one of the Sami languages as their mother tongue. The four official languages of the municipality are Finnish, Inari Sami (ca. 400 estimated speakers), Skolt Sami (ca. 400 speakers), and Northern Sami (ca. 700 speakers). Inari is known for Lake Inari, gold mining and its national parks. Finland’s largest National Park Lemmenjoki is partly located in Inari, as is the Urho Kekkonen National Park. Vast parts of the municipality are designated wilderness areas. Inari has Finland’s most important areas for reindeer herding – a traditional livelihood for Circumpolar people. It’s something between animal husbandry and hunting – the reindeer live freely but every reindeer has an owner. While we see reindeer herding valuable and important, we also see a problem in it. The reindeer population has grown too big and this in turn has a huge impact on the nature and other animals as well.
30
Other major sources of income in Inari are tourism, service industry and cold climate testing. Inari is known for being economically strong and culturally versatile. Some specialities for are annual, such as Skábmagovat movie festival for indigenous people in January and Ijahis Idja music festival for indigenous people in August. The village of Inari is Finland’s northernmost holiday resort. Summer and winter vacationers seek resorts with access to well-preserved and uncrowded natural environment. Sámi Cultural Centre Sajos, which hosts the The Sámi Parliament of Finland, and Sámi Museum and Nature Center Siida, designed by Juhani Pallasmaa, are both located in Inari. Some of the responsibilities of the Finnish Sámi Parliament include issues related to the languages and culture of the Sámi as well as their status as indigenous people. With Sajos, Inari is also a place of contemporary architecture in Lapland. Sajos is the place where we’re having our EASA bidding discussions in Inari.

ROADTRIP On our way to Inari we make few pit stops in Pudasjärvi, Rovaniemi and Santa’s village and in Sodankylä
PUDASJÄRVI Location: 65°21.5’N 027°00’E Part of the Northern Ostrobothnia region. Finland’s second largest city, by area. (Largest between 2004-2006) Population density is 1.44 inhabitants per square kilometre, around 699 kilometres north of Helsinki (590 km straight line distance)
Pudasjärvi became a city in 2004 and is home to countless swamplands dotted with islands of forest as 50% of the city is essentially swamplands. It is also where one of our biggest sponsors Profin, is from. In the early 20th century the income of the the local residents came from hunting, fishing, reindeer herding and agriculture. The town used to be an important producer of tar and butter, and during the 18th and 19th century it produced around 15 000 barrels of tar. There are many natural preservation areas located in Pudasjärvi and one can find several sites that have been formed by the latest ice age. One of these sites is Jumalanhauta (The grave of the God), a giant’s kettle with the bottom covered with head-sized rocks. Europe’s oldest bedrock surface can be found in Pudasjärvi, though it used to be located in the equatorial area when it was first exposed to daylight. Pudasjärvi is home to many interesting events; World championships of cross country skiing in unbroken snow and World championships of summer ice fishing. The biggest attraction in Pudasjärvi nowadays is the Log Campus – the biggest log building in the world – and other projects involved in the Modern Log City project that Pudasjärvi has initiated together with the University of Oulu.
40
ROVANIEMI Location: 66°30’N 025°44’E the administrative capital and commercial centre of Lapland. Largest city in the European Union by area around 810 kilometres north of Helsinki (706 km straight line distance) around 699 kilometres north of Helsinki (590 km straight line distance) Rovaniemi is the regional center of Lapland, a university town and the economical, educational, cultural and administrative center. It is the northernmost city in Finland. It is located only six kilometers south of the arctic circle. It is the official home of Santa Claus which is very visible in the city itself (even though he really lives in Korvatunturi near the Russian border). The history of Rovaniemi and its inhabitation stretches all the way to stone age, 8 000 years ago. The city has a colorful history as one of the most vibrant marketplaces in Finland. It burned to the ground in the last events of the Lapland War and was later rebuilt from scratch. The city plan from the current city of Rovaniemi was done by Alvar Aalto in the shape of reindeer antlers in 1947 and the rebuilding phase lasted for eight years. Other designs that were done by Alvar Aalto in Rovaniemi include Lappia-house (1976) and The City Library (1965). The third public building in the area is the city hall, which was designed by Alvar Aalto’s office and was finished in 1988. Architecturally important buildings in Rovaniemi also include Korundi, a cultural center, where the renovation design was made by one of our lecturers Juhani Pallasmaa. A huge portion of income in Rovaniemi comes from tourism, particularly seasonal tourism revolving around Santa and Santa related attractions. Rovaniemi airport is the third busiest airport in Finland due to tourism. Other attractions include Science museums and centers Arktikum and Pilke and Safari. Eurovision Song Contest winner, Lordi originates from Rovaniemi and after their win in 2006, one of the main squares in Rovaniemi was renamed Lordi Square.
41
ARCTIC CIRCLE / SANTAS VILLAGE Location: 66°50’N Where Santa keeps his office, He lives in Korvatunturi, near the Russian border. around 819 kilometres north of Helsinki (712 km straight line distance)

SODANKYLÄ Location: 67°25’00’N 026°35’35’E lies at the northern end of Finnish national road 5 population density is 0.73 inhabitants per square kilometre around 940 kilometres north of Helsinki (811 km straight line distance)
There is very little besides nature in Sodankylä. There are even more natural preservation areas in Sodankylä than in Pudasjärvi. The largest artificial lakes in Finland are located in the Sodankylä municipality, the largest of which swallowed up three villages and the largest swamp area of Finland, when it was finished. The cultural event of the year in Sodankylä is the Midnight Sun Film Festival. One of the main characteristics of the festival is to show films without a break around the clock while the sun shines around the clock.
43
PUBLIC PROGRAM During INCM Lapland 2017, we will have some public events that are open to the residents of both Oulu and Inari. For these events, we have received a grant from the Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
IMPACT/INTACT LECTURE EVENT Monday, November 20th, 2017 @Theatre Rio, Oulu
On Monday, November 20th at 3 PM, in Teatteri Rio in Oulu, we will have an open lecture series themed Impact/Intact. The lecture event is a organized in collaboration with the Oulu School of Architecture, University of Oulu. We are honored to have Juhani Pallasmaa, Juhana Heikonen and Lars Erik Mattila as our guest lecturers for the Impact/ Intact lecture series.
Juhani Pallasmaa, M.Sc. (Archit.), Prof. Emeritus, Hon. FAIA, Int. FRIBA Juhani Pallasmaa is a highly accomplished architect, professor and author. He is a living legend who has permanently influenced architecture not only in Finland but internationally. He has taught in universities across the globe sharing his inspirational views on experiencing architecture.
44

GUERRILLA LIGHTING WORKSHOP Tuesday the 21st @Oulu City Center INCM Lapland 2017 will take part in the Lumo Light Festival in Oulu, during which the workshop will be held. The workshop is open for participants of INCM Lapland 2017 as well as Oulu residents. Guerrilla Lighting enables us to see things and places differently, giving us new points of view through temporary lighting. It discloses the significance of lighting and lighting design while fighting against poor lighting and light pollution. Guerrilla Lighting is a fun way to increase understanding of light and all the possibilities it brings. In addition, it is an interesting way for newcomers to get acquainted with Oulu or for the residents to see the city in a new way. In the workshop, we will use portable lights to create temporary lighting designs where the buildings and cityscape of Oulu will act as the canvas for our designs. We will showcase the outcomes of the workshop one by one during a walking tour through the city, where everyone will take part in. The instructor for the workshop is architect, D.Sc. (Tech.), lighting designer Henrika Pihlajaniemi. The event is organized in collaboration with Arkkitehdit m3 Oy.

EXCLUSIVE PROGRAM
SITSIT Monday the 20th @Aleksinkulma, Oulu
Academic dinner party or Sitsit, is a traditional student gathering held in Finland thatäs done a bit differently than in Sweden. Sitsit includes eating, drinking and singing, and this is all done whilst respecting the strict sitsirules, which are explained in detail in the beginning of every sitsit. A very important part of sitsit is the singing. The guests are given a booklet with songs that will be sung during the sitsit. Everyone sings when a song is brought up, and songs are often related to the current progress of the sitsit. In addition, sitsit often begin and end with a specific song known by all architects and technical students. Songs are always sung when drinking snaps. “A student sings more, rather than well”, and “there is plenty of space for off key” are sayings that illustrate that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how the song goes, just open your mouth and sing along. In addition to singing, there will be food and drinks served during the event. A warm plate of food might have turned cold by the time you get to it ,but that’s ok, because that’s sitsit. If you have any requests for songs you’d like to sing, please notify us so we might put it in the song book.

Its growing demand can be explained as a result of the increasingly valued interplay of the material properties sustainability, functionality and aesthetics. This presentation aims to outline the fundamental properties of stainless steel and their influence on the utilizability of this material in aesthetical architectural applications. The presentation discusses the definition of stainless steel and why it doesn’t corrode. It also describes the various architectural surface finishes available on stainless steel; explains how they are produced and how they can be optically characterized. Furthermore it classifies the most important stainless steel grades applied in interior and exterior architecture and gives guidance on which grades are suitable in extremely corrosive environments.

M O D E R ATO R S Every INCM has moderators, who ensure that everything runs smoothly in the discussions and everyone gets to speak out and voice their opinion. We handpicked some of the most trustworthy, hardcore EASians we thought would be best suited for this position at INCM Lapland 2017. Now, we let them introduce themselves.
“As you know the floor is Slava. But it is not the only thing I can tell about myself. Here are some facts about me: This year I turned INCM dino. I have been a part of EASA for 5 years, since 2013, but skipped two EASAs. But I never missed INCM and this is number 5 for me. Slava Ivanov I was bidding for EASA two times in 2013 for Russia and in 2015 for Denmark. To arrange EASA 2017 I was living/squatting for a year in Fredericia I am not an architect, but I have 2 Master degrees in other areas: one in strategic management and one in urban studies. Before going to EASA I was working in a bank, wearing suits and making money. My last day in a bank is the first day of EASA 2013. Besides that, I have more than 6 years’ work experience in other areas: consulting, urban development, policy making, education management. Right now I am a partner in a consulting start-up. We are a team of cross-disciplinary experts on strategic planning, management and integrated development. Our intention is to increase the value of urban areas and create sustainable economic models for urban and rural territories. Originally from Moscow, but live in Copenhagen.”

“First EASA 2011 Madrid. INCM addict since Azerbaijan 2011. Total tally 5 EASAs and 6 INCMs . Registered Architect with a second Masters in Regional and Urban Planning. Now working mainly as an architect trying to expand our office in new fields of activities. Edited the EASA guide two times already in previous INCMs. INCM Bidding discussions addict, but this year I am going to experience it from a whole new perspective. Always liked to deal with the difficult stuff in EASA like the fees.”
“On paper: A practicing architect A PhD Researcher on Alternative Educational Formats in Architecture Co-founder and a teacher at a creative laboratory for experimental architecture and alternative education at the University of Architecture in Sofia What is left between the lines (of that paper above): An EASAian (with seven EASA bracelets) A thinker An activist with a mission to widen the common perception of architecture A person in progress”

DICTIONARY
Finnish is a beautiful language. It is the only language that has been able to birth an insult that means “a tolerant person” (suvakki). We have a word that means “drinking alone at home in your underwear with no intention of going out” (kalsarikännit) and of course the simple beauty of our word for ice cream cone, jäätelötötterö makes one’s heart skip a beat..

INCM LAPLAND 2017 ORGANIZERS As all the EASA events, INCM Lapland 2017 is organized by a group of architecture students and young architects. Finland has hosted the EASA summer event twice, in 1987 (Helsinki/Putikko) and 2012 (Helsinki), but never the INCM. The idea for organizing INCM Lapland 2017 started forming already at INCM Alba 2015 and gained momentum in EASA Lithuania 2016 with us dreaming about how it would be to take the event further north than any EASA event before. We hope you enjoy your stay in Finland during INCM Lapland 2017! We have worked hard to put together a magical and engaging event which we hope will be something special among your EASA experiences. See you in RE:JEKA! With love, Joonas, Jenni, Leena, Julia, Anni, Papo, Aki
