Call for Hosting the General Assembly and Annual Conference 2018

This year’s General Assembly and Annual Conference ended just a few days ago. I would again like to express my gratitude to Martin Chénot and his team at école nationale supérieure d’architecture et de paysage de Bordeaux for being such wonderful hosts.

At the same time we are looking forward to next year’s issue of these events. We hereby ask our member schools to volunteer for hosting and organizing the General Assembly and Annual Conference 2018. The format of the event is as follows: one day for the Conference, half a day for the GA, half a day for the presentations of the ongoing projects, and an optional half day for an excursion. The format is not finally fixed and might be developed in discussion between the future organizers and the EAAE Council. EAAE will appoint a working-group to assist with the preparations.

A Message of the New President

Dear members of EAAE, dear colleagues and friends

I am extremely honored to have been elected as next president of EAAE by its general assembly. This is a huge privilege, but also a very big responsibility, which I can only hope to fulfill.

As you certainly can imagine, with most new challenges, one is only partially aware of what to expect, of the challenges to be faced. I have tremendous respect of the task before me, and I will give my best to serve the organization, to help achieve its goals, and to promote the agenda of EAAE for the benefit of the European schools of architecture.

Having run from September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2017, the so called “Wicked Project” has focused in certain aspects that play a substantial role in the present and near future of architecture’s teaching and practice, namely professional knowledge, heritage and sustainability.
