WHAT IS THE SYMPOSIUM ABOUT?

ASAE is an annual two-day seminar at the School of Architecture, Lund University. It celebrates the beginning of the academic year. The aim is to keep an annual ongoing discussion about international education programs and architectural education strategies. ASAE promotes encounters between different schools of architecture in Europe, America and other countries, taking into consideration the objectives of the School of Architecture in Lund: Architectural Design, Experiment and Construction.

ASAE is meant to be a public event and the ambition is to also engage local and international architects, teachers, students, politicians etc. in an open discussion about architecture and design.

The first ASAE was held in the autumn of 2003 and has since then become an ongoing autumn semester event at Lund University.

The aim of ASAE is:
- To present and compare different architectural education programs.
- To analyse different education programs, with the object of improving the level at LTH-A.
- To develop ideas that could become contra-punctual processes in which several sources could participate, interact and overlay. In this way we will continually generate new architectural attitudes and new impulses.
- To discuss how ideas, concepts and dreams may be realised as constructed artefacts.
- To investigate how concepts, which may be obscure or apparently unrealisable, can be developed into a real building, with the conceptual ideas carried through to the final architectural proposal.
- To discuss how to solve economic and political problems that endanger the level of architectural education and that may result in future professional work in architectural practice, research, and education suffering.
