ARCHITECTURE
STUDENT ASSEMBLY_

-Founded in 1981 by Richard Murphy and Geoff Haslam.
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 2 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 2 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.

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 organisational issues, as well as exploring a theme in a smaller scale than is accomplished during the summer assembly.
At the INCM countries bid to host future events, the location of the next summer assembly is decided 2 years in advance and the location of the next INCM is decided one year in advance, what is remarkable about these decisions is that they are made to consensus between over 100 National Contacts. It usually takes an entire day to reach consensus for each event.
