The European Architecture Students Assemblies are held annually in the summer during the first two weeks of august. The 1990 assembly was in jeopardy when in october 1989 it was found out that the initial organising team had not met its responsabilities. At short notice an international organising team of 4 members, consisting of Per-Michael Sandström from Sweden, Jens Møller from Denmark, Ole Christensen from Norway and myself representing the Netherlands was set up to find a location and organise the assembly.
An abandoned naval base in the swedish town of Karlskrona was found as a location. My responsability was the recruitment of architecture students from all the countries in Europe, and the managment of the so called info-desk during the assembly. Thanks to the cahnges in Eastern Europe, the 1990 assembly was the first to include members from all the European countries, from Albania to Iceland, and Portugal to Finland.
Las Asambleas de Estudiantes Europeos de Arquitectura (EASA) tienen lugar cada año en verano, durante las dos primeras semanas de agosto. El encuentro de 1990 corrió el riesgo de no celebrarse cuando resultó que el equipo organizador inicial no se había hecho cargo de sus responsabilidades. Con poco tiempo de anticipación se creó un equipo internacional organizador de 4 miembros, formado por Per-Michael Sandström de Suecia, Jens Møller de Dinamarca, Ole Christensen de Noruega y yo mismo representando a Holanda, con el fin de encontrar un lugar y organizar la asamblea.
Se encontró como lugar una base naval abandonada en la ciudad sueca de Karlskrona. Mi responsabilidad fue reclutar estudiantes de arquitectura de todos los países de Europa y la gestión de la llamada mesa de información durante la asamblea. Gracias a los cambios en la Europa del este, la asamblea de 1990 fue la primera que albergó a miembros de todos los países europeos, desde Albania hasta Islandia y de Portugal a Finlandia.
