community and interact with the sur-roundings. The Assembly itself gath-ers half a thousand students of archi-tecture each summer from more than 200 Schools of Architecture. The main activities are various practical and theoretical workshops held by skilled tutors, accompanied by lectures by local and international architects .

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, fi nding partners and sponsors. The Network and its events always hap-pen at a certain location for a specifi c reason. This can arise from the desire to socialize, create, learn, change, draw attention to problems, civil initia-tive 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-suffi cient. It brings a unique crea-tive spirit among the participants, also known as the EASA Spirit which is diffi cult to describe but easy to feel.

HistoryIn 1981 about three hundred studentsgathered to work on the theme ‘start-ing up the EASA experience’. Since

It is very hard to defi ne what EASA is. Technically it is a Network, the big-gest 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 stu-dents 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

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 work-shops, 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 intercul-tural dialogue. It encourages the col-

THE ASSEMBLY

laboration among students of different schools of architecture, nationalities, backgrounds, opinions, which benefi ts the development of an individual’s thinking process. There is no strict hierarchy in workshops and activities so everyone can contribute to the project’s evolution.

There are different attendees at EASA. Organizers provide accom-modation and food, coordinate workshops and sponsors, organize lectures and different collateral events and activities during the assembly. Helpers are usually old easians, help-ing 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 coor-dinate and lead participants in their work and oversee the results.

The participants are the biggest group of people at EASA, representing al-most 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 work-shop day. Dinner at 7pm is followed by lectures at dusk and night pro-gramme right after. Excursion around Slovenia, sport activities and pop-up workshops are arranged in between to keep the spirit of interaction alive.

exposed to different regimes and ide-ologies, changes in the intended use etc. Issues of regional and local devel-opment appeared, of micro urbanism with a clear consideration of history and heritage.

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 south-east 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 inhabit-ants, fi rst the Illyrians and Celts, and later the Romans who built an impor-tant road through it. From the village a medieval market town Žužemberk evolved. The present day site devel-oped 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 lo-cal people changed to Žužemberk.

The river Krka has one of the most picturesque tufa waterfalls or barriers right under the castle. This geographi-cal characteristic was very useful for

THE VENUE

Forests, river and a castleThe criteria for the selection of the venue arose from the natural condi-tions 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 be-came 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 herit-age, the token of history, the object

building mills, which were once an es-sential 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 impe-rial court in Vienna. In the summer, the river offers different possibilities for sports and activities such as raft-ing, bathing and fi shing.

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 re-moved and a swift industrialization occurred. New settlements sprung up next to existing ones; shock work-ers came, who did not get along with the old inhabitants. Thus immigra-tion started decreasing in the 1970s, people moved away to bigger cities and returned to Žužemberk only dur-ing 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 re-appeared. Nowadays Žužemberk and Slovenia are in a recession, people are moving away, a new development strategy is wanted.

ReactionThe EASA theme works as a frame; on its basis students think, research and create. It can be oriented very architecturally or simply socially. Re-action as such refers to the people, to villagers, to the response to the state of society. Nowadays active involve-ment into processes that change our environment is very important. The theme Reaction explores the possibil-ity 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 lo-cally oriented, on the other it explores

< one of the mighty defense towers THE THEME

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 actu-ally 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 infl uence 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 partici-pant. 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 craftsman-ship. The three subthemes were not chosen randomly, but follow the clas-sical division of EASA workshops into theoretical, practical and workshops which combine the two.

Workshops revealedBelow 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. Euro-pean Architecture Students Assembly in Žužemberk.

“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 fi nancial diffi culty 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

Make me think Ludwig WittgensteinMake me react Bruce NaumanMake me create EASAAn 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 investiga-tion will generate architectural design and construction. At fi rst, participants will be given a mini-lecture on specifi c writings by Wittgenstein and on the ways in which these thoughts have been incorporated into Bruce Nau-man’s work. An easy-to-build installa-tion will be constructed and carefully studied.

...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 fi rst 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 fi nd a “surface” or a place where they can make a site-specifi c intervention. We will also try to direct them to make a collaboration with people from other workshops.

Towards the typology of black fi reThere will be smaller scale technical and learning exercises followed by the construction of a small pavilion build-ing by using deconstructive processes as a method of physical and psycho-logical construction. The outcomes will be a repository/archive of the psychological ideas that the partici-pants 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, fi re).

ŽUŽ UPThis 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 creat-ing a movie for the interpreted Slo-venian 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 lo-cal spirit. We will take advantage of Žužemberk’s urban fabric and envi-ronmental features.

EASA TVEASA TV is about EASA partici-pants, 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 practi-cal 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 analy-sis 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 paraSITEThe 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 fi rst like to deal with the river, old tannery, mill and the round path. These four light installa-tions would serve as the fi rst part of the workshop, where we would get to know the new environment and people.

TutorsBrina Vizjak SloveniaSara Badovinac, Slovenia

://Diffr_actionThe 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 installa-tions including lasers, mirrors and string art, leading to one large interac-tive space. The constructive side of ://Diffr_Action will in no means be a ‘build’, however a formal location for the fi nal output would eventually be required. This can be a reaction to on site spaces formed within the EASA camp.

FloatpturesThis is a constructive workshop about designing fl oating sculptures from polystyrene which are laminated into a solid shape. Every participant will have the option to make his own individual fl oating device and after completion enjoy drifting down the river Krka.

IllumidentityShaping new identity through light projection / mapping - interweaving and multilayering of traditional lo-cal 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.

TutorsChristof Mathes, AustriaMatthias Klapper , AustriaLisa Weinsberger, Austria

Trap of a monsterWe 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, fi sh, 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 fi shing championship among EASA participants. Fish will be fried and sold right in the trap.

EASA FMThis 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 pos-sibilities to do so. Learning how to collect what’s going on around us, and cutting it in a way to be able to com-municate it, we can work with the idea of letting the global world get in touch with the local one.

SoundscapeThe 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.

TutorsDominykas Daunys, LithuanianAndrius Laurinaitis, LithuanianTomas Milkamanavičius, Lithuanian

Light me upExperimenting with light, using optical fi bers, creating interactive installa-tions, looking for new ways to be play-ful and create a project that consists of individual reactions to the theme, set up and frame of mind of EASA participants in Slovenia. Using exist-ing, 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 creat-ing the whole project, with minimal input and guidelines from the tutors during the creation period.

“Set theory” workshopAs Žužemberk’s population is divided into different groups and used to be divided in its history (communists and anticommunists, Catholics and Prot-estants, city folk and farmers, liberals and clericalists, etc.), we would like to take these groups as mathemati-cal sets and through the workshop’s participatory nature fi nd their intersec-tions (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.

TutorsTamara Rijavec, SloveniaNatalija Zanoški, Slovenia

Tales of ŽužemberkThis is a workshop about expressing oneself visually and verbally in the format of a picture book. The main idea is to refl ect the emotions that Žužemberk with its people and nature evokes in oneself and through those refl ections draw other people’s atten-tion to those emotions. The stories could be concerned with certain social problems or embrace something specifi cally 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.

TutorsRoland Reemaa, EstoniaLaura Linsi, Estonia

Holy moleyAs 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.

TutorsLena Kohlmayr, AustriaKerstin Kerstl, AustriaJakob Braun, Germany

AccordionThe aim of our workshop is to develop one or two 1:1 installations. The struc-tures 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 fi nal exhibit to have one or two different installations in different sites, depending if we, together with the par-ticipants, fi nd it appropriate.Still, we fi nd it most important in our workshop to focus on the process, to inspire the participants through practi-cal experiments where they get the chance to explore and experience the materials’ possibilities and limitations with their own hands.

TutorsElias Lindhoff, DenmarkSebastian Mardi, Denmark

Small interventionsSmall Interventions is one of the longest running workshops through-out EASA history; even though it was absent during the last assembly in Helsinki. The workshop will be divided into 3 separate phases. First, partici-pants 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 defi ne a “generic” description and a construction manual of their interven-tion. Finally, they will build that “small intervention” on the chosen site.

TutorsHugo Pointallart, FranceLucia Brandoli, ItalyRomea Muryn, PolandJanine Tuechsen, Germany

Analogue adventuresThe workshop will be divided into three main themes: man, architec-ture and man animating architecture. These themes will be addressed throughout the duration of the assem-bly and built together to form a port-folio 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 ar-chitecture within familiar and everyday situations and places, capturing mo-ments in a unique and fairly unpredict-able way and presenting images that are more an interpretation of reality than a correct representation of it.

City botWe think that the time of new cyber-netic personalities is coming; it is cur-rently working on the internet as differ-ent apps, gadgets and internet bots. These new personalities are playing the role of interdisciplinary and inter-cultural translators. With the help of them people more freely understand each other. And architecture should react to that challenge of contempo-raneity. The aim is to make an experi-mental 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.

OursoftrefugeThe 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 specifi c woven techniques and construct a space where they can fl oat - meanwhile experiencing another kind of architecture. The end result will be an elastic woven space and everybody will be invited to try the fl oating experience using the struc-ture. 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 refl ected by our mentality. According to the relatively young aesthetical discipline Somaes-thetics, the body with all its abilities is way more important for experiencing and refl ecting the world - it’s not just a machine but in fact cannot be sepa-rated 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.

OnionAny form of reaction / interaction or the sum of those causing any kind of human interrelation of various levels starts from the simplest form of coex-istence – sharing a mutual space. If we tried to imagine the very primitive form of coexistence of human beings, there would be no cultural or his-torical backgrounds, no language, no symbolic values and no other means of communication but the pure pres-ence 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.

Knots, nets and netwoksThe premise for this workshop is to uncover unique and robust strate-gies 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 specifi c installa-tion will germinate. These interven-tions are meant to be reactionary architectural propositions that will con-ceptually 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.

llustration/illuminationŽužemberk is a canvas, waiting to be exhibited. The source of our mate-rial will be the local folklore, history, our personal reactions and we want to illustrate this with projections, colour, shade and refl ections, which will always be in confrontation with their environment. We are inspired by simple, site-specifi c 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.

EndorTree 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 differ-ent and structurally sound leisure area for the people of Žužemberk to enjoy.

International competition An international pavilion competi-tion 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 permanent-pavilion or installation is an idea that has been implemented since 2003. The workshop is linked to a specifi c site for which students offer possible solutions. The proposals are then reviewed and evaluated by a compe-tition committee, convened for that purpose.

The costs of EASA events are partially covered by registration fees and partly through institutions that support sci-ence, research, art and culture. Being a sponsor of an EASA event means supporting a leading international net-work in this fi eld, providing students of architecture an incomparable chance to interact with colleagues from differ-ent cultural and ideological spheres. In this way, companies have the op-portunity to get near students who un-derstand the concept of globalisation and internationalisation, knowledge sharing, understand architecture, art and their implementation. The partici-pants of an EASA event are students and young architects, who are active and progressive in their profession.

The Association of students of ar-chitecture EASA Slovenia is look-ing for companies, which are willing to support the EASA013 event in Žužemberk, Slovenia that will be car-ried out during the fi rst two weeks of August. We are ready to arrange dif-ferent ways of support or partnership options. It is all just a matter of desire.

The AssociationThe Association of students of archi-tecture EASA Slovenia was estab-lished back in 1997 in Ljubljana after students organized two SESAMs, one in Škofja Loka in 1996 and the other in Sinji Vrh near Ajdovščina in 1997. 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 as-sociation and take part in the assem-blies 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 Fac-ulty of Civil Engineering in Maribor.
