Hello dear reader, and welcome to: Bulletin nr2. We have not yet recived any text from outside scandinavia. We find it very important that as many people as possible take part in the discussion about modern identity, and domicile, as you understand we are not sitting here writing the script for each one of you to use in the discussions this summer. So load up your minds and hit the keyboards, crayons or whatever form you want to use to express your thoughts, we hope that this second Bulletin will trigg you to perform. We all know that the idea of a mobile EASA is very attractive and in it self intresting, but what we really need is your help on developing the theme. So if you find the theme somehowe weak on any point, you are very welcome to write us your opinion. Come with criticism, god or bad, we need some feedback. As a direct response to the discussions about the atmosphere of the resent EASA´s, with this EASA we want to establish a more ”serious” approach, more firmly connected to the subject that intrests us all, namely Architecture. Bring a fancy costume/dress for one or two party nights, but above all, bring your sharp mind. About the internet The UK-site has recently had a face lift, looks better than ever. The chat is pretty quiet, but will surely as people discover it´s great potential devolop to an intresting space for communicating in between EASA´s, SESAM´s e.t.c. Have a look, if you get lucky Miguel from Spain is there. He can tell you about the little exposition on the theme for this summer that he arranged together with 80 aspiring participants in Valencia. As we understand, he made a lottery among all exibiters to decide on who to bring in his Valencia quota. Further on the internet, the Scandinavian site has been a bit slow on the updating so far, sorry, we will improve. A Norwegian whiz-kid is on the task to make it look and work better, hopefully it will be in good shape when you get this bulletin. So when you finished talking to Miguel drop by and share the latest news on http://www.easa1997.chalmers.se/. There might not yet be so much material that came in after the editing of this bulletin. The way we aim to run this bulletin/web thing is to publish all material on the internet site as soon as we recieve it, and then at the bulletin deadlines print it all for you who do not have access to the internet. If we manage to get this working, the next bulletin won´t contain material you didn´t see before, provided you have access to the Internet and where interested enough to use it. You are offcourse very welcome to leave us a note, even a report on the amounts of rain from Ireland would make us happy. We are working on a media-waggon to be within the train-structure, a resource with filmscreen, xerox-machine, video-equipment for documentation, fax, on-line connection whith the Internet, computers for umbrella and all others who need them, etc. We will also keep the home page running throughout the trip with continuous updating of the workshop´s progressions, umbrella on-line sort of. This will enable our fellow students who didn´t fit in the quota or had work to attend at home and all those non-europeans that think our inquiries concerning mobility are interesting, to follow us on our investigation of the mobile society. Maybe some workshop even is interested to be guided in their work by someone not on the train, a blind leading the ones who see? Another possibility is that the tutors, that you will present to us pretty soon, have their workshop description connected to a mailbox until the meeting starts, then you could start reacting on the workshops at once, to know which are the nicest tutors etc. Further we could use our on-line connection to have Lectures with Neil Armstrong standing on the moon projected bigscreen in the swedish woods, not as expensive as to charter a shuttel to bring him down here among us mortals. Enjoj the reading and react to the theme,we wish you lots of fun and happy days until we all meet in July!
