Audun Engh vll representere Norge og Skandinavia under feiringen hjemme hos Prince Charles tirsdag. Det vil de være ca. 30 gjester i Clarence House, et lite slott som prinsen overtok etter dronningmoren. Med 4000 medlemmer og 18 avdelinger verden rundt arbeider INTBAU for å fremme tradisjonsbaserte kvaliteter i byggeskikk og stedsutvikling. Prince Charles er organisasjonens beskytter. Blant stifterne for 10 år siden var norske Petter Olsen og Audun Engh. Det er laget en utstilling for å vise prinsen eksempler på INTBAU-medlemmers arbeid verden rundt. Representanter for de nasjonale avdelingene vl informere prinsen om aktuelle prosjekter. Audun Engh vil i denne forbindelse fremheve bl.a. norskledet arbeid med tradisjonsbasert byutvikling i Havana og Transylvania. Han vil også nevne plansmiene i Norge, der befolkningen deltar i utformingen av byplaner for å unngå konfikter omkring utnyttelse og brudd med stedets karakter. Engh vil også fremheve INTBAUs støtte til aksjoner i Norge for å fremme tilpasning til historiske omgivelser og bruk av tradisjonell byggeskikk, med Union Hotell, Øye og Holmenutbýggingen i Risør [...]]]></description>

<h3><strong>What Is a Charrette? </strong></h3>
<p>A charrette is an intensive planning session where citizens, designers and others collaborate on a vision for development. It provides a forum for ideas and offers the unique advantage of giving immediate feedback to the designers. More importantly, it allows everyone who participates to be a mutual author of the plan.</p>
<p><strong>Registration &amp; Costs</strong></p>
<p>The registration fee for international participants is 300 CUC (Cuban Convertible Peso), approx. 240 EUR, GBP £200, or USD $330. This fee goes exclusively to cover expenses during the charrette, such as studio equipment, transportation costs for Cuban participants, and renting the venue.</p>
<p>For informatioin and registration, please contact  Audun Engh on <a href="mailto:audun.engh@gmail.com">audun.engh@gmail.com</a></p>
<h3>-</h3>
<h3><strong>Travel</strong></h3>
<p>Participants are asked to arrange their own travel to Havana. Airlines with connections from Europe include Air France, British Airways, Iberia, and Virgin Atlantic (from London). There are also flights to Havana from the US (Miami, New York), Canada, Mexico and other Latin American countries.</p>
<p>Some ATMs can be found, but they are rare compared to other countries. No cards issued by US banks will work in Cuba. It is recommended to bring cash for the trip. Euros, UK Pounds and Dollars are accepted in any currency exchange shop. US Dollars will be subject to a 10% tax when exchanged.</p>
<h3>-</h3>
<h3><strong>Visas</strong></h3>
<p>You will need a visa to visit Cuba. Please contact your local Cuban embassy. A tourist visa will be the simplest to obtain. New regulations require you to submit the name of the hotel or the address and registration number of the Casa Particular when applying for a visa. We will provide you with this information with sufficient time if you prefer Casa Particular accomodation.</p>
<p>We can on request arrange Casa Particular (rooms in private houses and apartments) accommodation in the Vedado district for 50 CUC, Cuban Convertible Peso per night (approx, 55 $, 35 Euro, 30 £). This price is per room, single or double occupancy. Most of our participants at the previous charrettes chose this option, although some preferred to arrange for their own accommodation. We can make some suggestions if you prefer hotel accommodation.</p>

<p>You will need to make your own specific determination, but in my case I went under a &#8220;general license,&#8221; no pre-application required, under the provisions of an international professional meeting in my professional area.  I brought with me: a letter of invitation from the Scandinavian organizers; a print of this OFAC document with relevant sections highlighted; my CV; and my itinerary, making it clear this was a professional and international event. I had no problems whatsoever, and I am not aware that anyone else from these events has either.</p>
<p>The intent of the license is to avoid penalizing American professionals who might otherwise benefit from an international professional event in Cuba&#8221;.</p>

<h2><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The 2012 Charrette Site, Centro Habana:</span></strong><strong></strong></h2>
<p>Centro Habana was the first suburb of Havana and its origins date back from the early 1700s. The increase of the agricultural activity in the rural territories off the walls for granting the Spanish Fleet the necessary supplies and the expanding shipbuilding industry contributed to the birth of the first settlements. A small church devoted to the Virgin of Guadalupe in 1716 would define the so considered first neighbourhood (at Monte and Aguila streets) while the relocation of the Real Arsenal in 1734 to the South by the Atares area and the lay out of the Alameda de Extramuros (Off the Walls Promenade) by the Marquis de la Torre around 1772 also contributed to the expansion of the city. The first cemetery of Havana was built in 1804 – the Espada Cemetery, named after Bishop Espada, while the first hospital outside the walls was built in 1714 (San Lazaro hospital).</p>
<p>The Alameda de Extramuros established a significant urban axis and expressed an early assimilation of the new European trends about the appreciation and enjoyment of Nature in the cities. In 1817 a regulating plan – Plan de Ensanche, the first of its kind in Havana executed by a qualified group of engineers led by Colonel Engineer Antonio Maria de la Torre y Cardenas based on a grid – guided the expansion of the city beyond the walls in an orderly manner by using the existing layout of the roads that connected the walled city with the countryside. The plan established a hierarchy of streets where the main arteries called ‘calzadas’ would become the most distinctive feature of Havana’s new streetscape and stood in clear contrast with the character of Old Havana. The so called ‘calzadas’ turned into commercial axes later sheltered with Neoclassical porticoes and arcades that signalled the porches as Havana’s trademark. The famous Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier called Havana the City of Columns. This urban pattern can easily be recognized nowadays where the ‘calzadas’ play a role as linear axes that not only define different neighbourhoods but provide a variety of mixed uses.</p>
<p>Centro Habana is the most diverse district of Havana, the most densely populated and the most dilapidated one. Due to construction speculation during the first decades of the 20th century and neglect of almost half a century the district is currently decaying and many buildings have collapsed.</p>
<p>Centro Habana is located to the North and the center of Havana so that The Straits of Florida is the natural limit and The Malecon its physical border to the North while El Cerro district – also named after another ‘calzada’ – is the South border. Old Havana is to the East and El Vedado district is to the West.</p>
<p>For the Master Plan purpose –and also for the Charrette’s – the Centro Habana waterfront sector is defined by the presence of both colonial fortresses, La Punta (1589 -1600)and The Morro Castle (1589 -1630), the Paseo del Prado and the Torreon de San Lazaro (1665). This sector is quite different in character from the harbor and from East Havana in terms of environmental issues, urban landscape, heritage presence, urban and architectural typologies, urban design and architecture.</p>
<p>The challenges are many and huge but the most important one will be the integration of this territory as proposed in the Master Plan following its guidelines and design – urban, landscape and architectural – codes so that the whole waterfront is developed according to both its vocation and its potential to give Havana a new facade related to the sea, that orients new urban development to the sea and creates an urban realm according and a sustainable environment. Another major challenge will consist in the integration of this area with the rest of Havana in both physical and cultural terms so that it gives continuity to the tradition of excellence of Havana’s urbanism and architecture.</p>
<p>Due to the lack of open space and high density the current population of about 154, 000 is considered to live in extreme environmental conditions with 1.5 Centigrade degree above the average of the city. Green scarcity also contributes to the heat increase even though the breeze coming from the sea seems to occasionally alleviate the situation.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Travel to Cuba</strong></h3>
<p>Participants are asked to arrange their own travel to Havana. Airlines with connections from Europe include Air France, British Airways, Iberia, and Virgin Atlantic (from London). There are also flights to Havana from the US (Miami, New York), Canada, Mexico and other Latin American countries.</p>
<p>Some ATMs can be found, but they are rare compared to other countries. No cards issued by US banks will work in Cuba. It is recommended to bring cash for the trip. Euros, UK Pounds and Dollars are accepted in any currency exchange shop. US Dollars will be subject to a 10% tax when exchanged.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Visas</strong></h3>
<p>You will need a visa to visit Cuba. Please contact your local Cuban embassy. A tourist visa will be the simplest to obtain. New regulations require you to submit the name of the hotel or the address and registration number of the Casa Particular. We will provide you with this information.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Accommodation</strong><strong></strong></h3>
<p>Hotel, or &#8216;Casa Particular&#8217; (rooms for rent in private houses and apartments) is a uniquely Cuban form of accommodation. Most of the rooms are in apartment buildings from the 1950s, and all are located in the El Vedado area of Havana, just a few blocks from the famous Hotel Nacional. The living and dining rooms are shared with the Cuban family. If you wish, the family will provide you with breakfast and other meals (against a surcharge). All guests will have single rooms unless otherwise agreed. Some bathrooms might be shared with other guests. The buildings are just five minutes away from the Malecón waterfront.<br />
Please contact us if you would prefer hotel accommodation (additional cost).</p>
<p>We can recommend Hotel Nacional: http://www.hotelnacionaldecuba.com/en/home.asp</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>US Participants </strong></h3>
<p>We have had US participants for all the previous tours and workshops. Due to the US trade embargo, US citizens will have to travel under either a general or a specific license. For further information, please go to the website of the <a href="http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/cuba/cuba.shtml">United States Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control</a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You will need to make your own specific determination, but in my case I went under a &#8220;general license,&#8221; no pre-application required, under the provisions of an international professional meeting in my professional area.  I brought with me: a letter of invitation from the Scandinavian organizers; a print of this OFAC document with relevant sections highlighted; my CV; and my itinerary, making it clear this was a professional and international event. I had no problems whatsoever, and I am not aware that anyone else from these events has either.</p>
<p>The intent of the license is to avoid penalizing American professionals who might otherwise benefit from an international professional event in Cuba&#8221;.</p>

<p>&#8212;</p>

<h3><strong>Havana Urban Design Charrette</strong></h3>
<p>The week before, February 19-25, we will also arrange an urban design charrette in Havana.</p>

<p>The Garden City of El Vedado- planned in 1859-60 but not developed until early in the XX century- according to modern planning principles that introduced the green in the city for the first time is still considered the most important urban initiative since Colonial times. Laid out by Spanish Engineer Luis Yboleon it’s considered the birth of modern planning in Cuba as it introduced the green in the city for the first time and afforded to provide a very effective model for separating both the private and the public realm. El Vedado, a perfect grid rotated 45 degrees to the North to better catch the prevailing breezes and avoiding the sun contains two minor grids within its fabric: a small one for the University of Havana campus(1905-1940)and another one where the Christopher Columbus Necropolis sits since 1871, which was laid out according Medieval trends based on the five wounds of Jesus Christ, meaning two main axes that further subdivide the land into four crosses and four quadrants.</p>
<p>Visit the 1906- 40 Universtity of Havana Campus, and walk along La Rampa district, the very heart of modern Havana where the famous 1966 Coppelia Ice Cream Parlor is and also where the1950s hotels -such as the former Havana Hilton Hotel designed by California architectural firm Welton Becket &amp; Associates in 1958; Art Déco and Streamile Modern style apartments influenced by South Beach in Miami, and modern cinemas like the 1947 Radiocentro building designed by Junco, Gaston and Dominguez, night clubs,  restaurants and shops are. Admire Havana’s tall office buildings such as the Award winning 1953 Odontological Building and the 1958 Ministry of Public Health both designed by late Cuban architect Antonio Quintana Simonetti. See the 1956 FOCSA building designed by Ernesto Gomez Sampera and Martin Dominguez. Visit the iconic Riviera Hotel on the waterfront, a 1957 building financed by mobster Meyer Lanski whose first designed was commissioned to NY architect Philip Johnson. Hear the story of the meeting of the architects with the developers in Havana (like a black and white film with Johnson wearing an impeccable black suit and the mobster wearing white linen suits and Panama hats). Drive along the tree-lined Paseo Street to the appealing and unique 1926 Casa de la Amistad, former Baro-Lasa mansion, designed by Cuban firm Govantes and Cabarrocas with Art Déco interiors and exquisite glass works by French designer René Lalique, the first Arte Deco piece in Cuba and Lalique’s only design in Latin America. Listen to the wonderful and passionate love story of Catalina Lasa and Juan Pedro Baro, a loan shark and a beauty contest winner lady, narrated by architect Julio Cesar Perez as it appears in his two books Inside Cuba (Taschen 2006) and Inside Havana (Taschen 2011).</p>
<p>Drive along Paseo Street to the so called Plaza de la Revolucion, former Civic Square, an unfinished project from 1958 where a white marble monument to our National hero Jose Marti outstands with other landmarks such as the 1953 former Office of the Comptroller that shows the big metal sculpture of Che Guevara, the 1957 National Library designed by Cuban firm Govantes and Cabarrocas, the 1958 National Theater by Arroyo and Menendez, and other significant buildings.

The best beaches are at <a href="http://www.havana-guide.com/santa-maria-del-mar.html" target="_blank">Santa Maria del Mar,  </a>this is the most tourist-oriented and the busiest of the Havana beaches.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>DAY 5. Thursday, March 1. Morning Bus tour of West Havana</strong>.<strong>9.30 am- 12.30 pm.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The US Influence in both Havana’s urbanism and architecture. Modern and International Style architecture. The suburbs, the new hotels. </strong></p>
<p>Visit the Miramar District (planned in 1911 by Cuban architect Leonardo Morales, a Columbia University graduate) and the big color -coded model of the city.

<p>The Garden City of El Vedado- planned in 1859-60 but not developed until early in the XX century- according to modern planning principles that introduced the green in the city for the first time is still considered the most important urban initiative since Colonial times. Laid out by Spanish Engineer Luis Yboleon it’s considered the birth of modern planning in Cuba as it introduced the green in the city for the first time and afforded to provide a very effective model for separating both the private and the public realm. El Vedado, a perfect grid rotated 45 degrees to the North to better catch the prevailing breezes and avoiding the sun contains two minor grids within its fabric: a small one for the University of Havana campus(1905-1940)and another one where the Christopher Columbus Necropolis sits since 1871, which was laid out according Medieval trends based on the five wounds of Jesus Christ, meaning two main axes that further subdivide the land into four crosses and four quadrants.</p>

<h2><strong>HAVANA PLANSMIE  / CHARRETTE </strong></h2>
<h3><strong>19.-25. FEBRUAR 2011.</strong></h3>
<p>For sjette gang arrangeres det en ukelang workshop der cubanske og internasjonale deltakere fra flere fagfelt inkludert arkitektur, planlegging, bygningsvern og kunsthistorie  lager forslag for byutvikling i Havana, basert på bevaring og videreutvikling av byens rike historie.</p>
<p>I 2012 skal vi fokusere på bydelen Centro fra 1800-tallet og med beliggenhet inntil Gamle Havana og strandpromenaden Malecon. Bydelen er sterkt nedslitt, og jevnlig kollapser bygninger,  men området store muligheter for utvikling og oppgradering med funksjonsblanding og turisme. Formålet med plansmia er å lage planer som kan hindre at Havana  gjentar andre byers feilgrep når nye utviklingsmuligheter åpner seg i årene som kommer. Havana er i dag den eneste historiske latinamerikanske storbyen som ikke er mer eller mindre ødelagt av bilbasert byutvikling med motorveier og riving av historiske bydeler.</p>
<p>Professor Julio Cesar Perez og andre cubanske fagfolk inviterer kolleger fra hele verden til å delta på en dugnad for å vise at bevaring av kulturarven og byutvikling til beste for befolkningen kan kombineres. Teamet vil bestå av ca. 30 personer, halvparten cubanere. Arbeidsspråket vil være engelsk.</p>
<p>På alle foregående plansmier har det vært norske deltakere, de fleste arkitekter eller antikvarer. I tillegg har deltakere kommet fra bl.a. USA, Storbritannia, Canada, Sverige, Tyskland, Spania, Portugal, latinamerikanske land og selvsagt Cuba.</p>
<p>Deltakeravgift for plansmia er 300 CUC (convertible pesos, turistvalutaen med verdi omtrent som en US $, tilsvarende ca. 2000 kr, som går til å dekke en andel av faktiske kostnader, som teknisk utstyr og leie av lokaler.</p>
<p>Vi har noen stipender for studenter, slik at de slipper å betale deltakeravgiften.</p>
<p>Vi kan bistå med å bestille rimelig overnatting (ca. 300 &#8211; 400 kr. pr. natt for enkletrom).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>REISEDATOER FOR PLANSMIA:</strong></h3>
<p>Hvis man kun vil delta på charetten anbefales:</p>
<p>Utreise fra Norge lørdag 18. eller søndag 19. mars, ankomst Havana på ettermiddagen. Flyene er trolig billigere 19. mars.</p>
<p>Hjemreise tidligst lørdag 26. mars. Flyen går ca. kl 20 fra Havana, med ankomst Oslo  neste ettermuddag.  Oppholdet kan om ønsket forlenges med ekstra overnattinger.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The 2012 Charrette Site, Centro Habana:</span></strong><strong></strong></h2>
<p>Centro Habana was the first suburb of Havana and its origins date back from the early 1700s. The increase of the agricultural activity in the rural territories off the walls for granting the Spanish Fleet the necessary supplies and the expanding shipbuilding industry contributed to the birth of the first settlements. A small church devoted to the Virgin of Guadalupe in 1716 would define the so considered first neighbourhood (at Monte and Aguila streets) while the relocation of the Real Arsenal in 1734 to the South by the Atares area and the lay out of the Alameda de Extramuros (Off the Walls Promenade) by the Marquis de la Torre around 1772 also contributed to the expansion of the city. The first cemetery of Havana was built in 1804 – the Espada Cemetery, named after Bishop Espada, while the first hospital outside the walls was built in 1714 (San Lazaro hospital).</p>
<p>The Alameda de Extramuros established a significant urban axis and expressed an early assimilation of the new European trends about the appreciation and enjoyment of Nature in the cities. In 1817 a regulating plan &#8211; Plan de Ensanche, the first of its kind in Havana executed by a qualified group of engineers led by Colonel Engineer Antonio Maria de la Torre y Cardenas based on a grid &#8211; guided the expansion of the city beyond the walls in an orderly manner by using the existing layout of the roads that connected the walled city with the countryside. The plan established a hierarchy of streets where the main arteries called &#8216;calzadas&#8217; would become the most distinctive feature of Havana&#8217;s new streetscape and stood in clear contrast with the character of Old Havana. The so called &#8216;calzadas&#8217; turned into commercial axes later sheltered with Neoclassical porticoes and arcades that signalled the porches as Havana&#8217;s trademark. The famous Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier called Havana the City of Columns. This urban pattern can easily be recognized nowadays where the &#8216;calzadas&#8217; play a role as linear axes that not only define different neighbourhoods but provide a variety of mixed uses.</p>
<p>Centro Habana is the most diverse district of Havana, the most densely populated and the most dilapidated one. Due to construction speculation during the first decades of the 20th century and neglect of almost half a century the district is currently decaying and many buildings have collapsed.</p>
<p>Centro Habana is located to the North and the center of Havana so that The Straits of Florida is the natural limit and The Malecon its physical border to the North while El Cerro district – also named after another &#8216;calzada&#8217; &#8211; is the South border. Old Havana is to the East and El Vedado district is to the West.</p>
<p>For the Master Plan purpose –and also for the Charrette&#8217;s &#8211; the Centro Habana waterfront sector is defined by the presence of both colonial fortresses, La Punta (1589 -1600)and The Morro Castle (1589 -1630), the Paseo del Prado and the Torreon de San Lazaro (1665). This sector is quite different in character from the harbor and from East Havana in terms of environmental issues, urban landscape, heritage presence, urban and architectural typologies, urban design and architecture.</p>
<p>The challenges are many and huge but the most important one will be the integration of this territory as proposed in the Master Plan following its guidelines and design &#8211; urban, landscape and architectural &#8211; codes so that the whole waterfront is developed according to both its vocation and its potential to give Havana a new facade related to the sea, that orients new urban development to the sea and creates an urban realm according and a sustainable environment. Another major challenge will consist in the integration of this area with the rest of Havana in both physical and cultural terms so that it gives continuity to the tradition of excellence of Havana&#8217;s urbanism and architecture.</p>
<p>Due to the lack of open space and high density the current population of about 154, 000 is considered to live in extreme environmental conditions with 1.5 Centigrade degree above the average of the city. Green scarcity also contributes to the heat increase even though the breeze coming from the sea seems to occasionally alleviate the situation.<strong></strong></p>

<p>Dersom man ønsker det kan man delta på konferansen &#8220;Reconsidering Postmodernism&#8221;, 11. og 12.november.</p>
<p>Konferansen tar opp kritikken av modernismen som startet med Postmodernismen på 80-tallet og fortsetter idag med bevegelsen for tradisjonsbasert arkitektur og byforming.</p>
<p>Blant talerne er forfatteren <strong>Tom Wolfe</strong>.  Dette er en sjelden mulighet til å høre en leganarisk forfatter tale om sitt forhold til New York og arkitekur.  Tom Wolfe er nå 80 år gammel. Det er iår 30 år sidehan utga &#8220;From Bauhaus to Our House&#8221;, en flengende kritikk av modernistisk arkitektur.</p>
<p>Blant hans mest kjente romaner er The Bonfire of the Vanities og A Man in Full.<br title="The Bonfire of the Vanities" /><em> Han har også skrevet non-fiction som</em><em><a title="The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kandy-Kolored_Tangerine-Flake_Streamline_Baby"> The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby</a></em> <em>, <a title="The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Electric_Kool-Aid_Acid_Test">The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test</a></em> og <em>The Right Stuff.</em></p>

<p><strong>Konferansetemaer:</strong></p>
<p>Konferansen tar opp arven etter 80-tallets bevegelse som utfordret modernismens hegemoni. Ikke minst vil det være innlegg fra arkitekter som har videreført postmodernismen ironiske bruk av klassiske stildetaljer  til en seriøs  gjenoppdagelse av førmodernistiske stilarter. Flere av de fremste arkitektene som idag tegner tradisjonellt vil delta, bl.a. Robert Adam, Andres Duany og Demitri Porphyrios</p>
<p>Også talerlisten forøvrig er imponerende, se nedenfor. Bl.a vil kjente navn fra tidlig postmodernisme som Charles Jencks og Michael Graves delta.</p>

<dt>The two recent and ongoing developments we will visit,  have  learned from &#8220;best practice&#8221;, the well-functioning  central parts of Paris, with traditional mixed-use urbanism,  human scale,  and high density provided by a low- and medium-rise block structure. Paris has the highest urban density in the world,  with few buildings more than seven stories high. The city is loved by people from all over the world.  The mayor of Plessis-Robinson saw  every reason to use this urban model when planning a new town,  after demolition of failed slab suburbs from the 1960s.</dt>

<p><strong>Flights:</strong></p>
<p>All major airlines have connections to Paris, direct or via other European cities. Please note that Paris has several airports: <a href="http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/Transportation/Air/airports_Paris1.shtml">http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/Transportation/Air/airports_Paris1.shtml</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Paris is principally served by two international airports: <a href="http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/Transportation/Air/airports_Paris1.shtml#CDG">Roissy/Charles de Gaulle</a> (CDG) to the north of the city, and <a href="http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/Transportation/Air/airports_Paris2.shtml" target="_parent">Orly</a> (ORY) to the south. Together, these airports welcome 75 million passengers annually, with flights to 500 cities in 132 countries. Most international flights arrive at Roissy/CDG, while domestic French flights generally arrive at Orly.</p>
<p>Both CDG and Orly offer  ground transport into the city center.</p>
<p>A third international airport, <a href="http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/Transportation/Air/airports_Paris1.shtml#">Beauvais-Tillé</a> (BVA), has gained increasing popularity with some European travelers in recent years, handling over 2 million passengers during 2007. Located 84 km/52 miles from Paris in the department of Oise (province of Picardy), Beauvais primarily serves as a hub for budget airlines hailing from Ireland, the U.K., and a few other western European countries.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Easyjet</strong> has flights to both Charles de Gaulle and Orly: <a href="http://www.easyjet.com/asp/en/book/index.asp?lang=en">http://www.easyjet.com/asp/en/book/index.asp?lang=en</a></p>

<p>Vi har satt et tak på 10 påmeldte deltakere, for å sikre at den enkelte får individuell oppfølging av kurslederne.</p>
<p>Hovedvekt vil bli lagt på oljemaleri, men det blir også mulig å praktisere akvarellmaling for dem som foretrekker detUndervisningen vil bli tilpasset den enkelte deltakers forkunnskaper.

<p>Som reiseledere deltar dessuten Audun Engh og arkitekt Arne Sødal fra den norske avdelingen av  INTBAU &#8211; International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism.  De vil introdusere deltakerne til arkitekturhistorien og landsbykulturen i regionen.</p>
<p>Audun Engh og Arne Sødal har de siste åtte årene gjennomført årlige prosjekter i de saksiske landsbyene i Transylvania. Med støtte fra bl.a. Riksantikvaren og EU har man arbeidet med restaurering av den vakre landsbybebyggelsen, oppført av de saksiske innbyggerne som flyttet hit i middelalderen. De tysktalende, protestantiske sakserne var selveiende bønder, og  utviklet en meget velorganisert landsbykultur, preget av folkekunst på høyt nivå. Denne kulturen var intakt til 2.verdenskrig, men store bølger av utvandring til Tyskland etter krigens slutt 1945 og kommunismens fall i 1989 har resultert i at mindre enn 10 % av sakserne er tilbake. Rumenere og Romfolk har i stor grad overtatt landsbyene, og mangler ofte kunnskaper om ivaretakelse av saksisk bygningsarv og jordbrukstradisjoner. Mange frivillige organisasjoner og EU har derfor iverksatt prosjekter for å restaurere både befestede kirker og landsbybebyggelse. Det gis også støtte til opprettholdelse av det landsbybaserte jordbruket og  landskapet mellom landsbyene.</p>
<p>I tillegg til landbyer med befestede kirker preges området også av bevarte kulturlandskaper med beitemarker, skoger og åser. Det skjedde lite utvikling i området i det 20. århundre, heller ikke under kommunismen,  og både landskap og bebyggelse gir derfor et levende inntrykk av hvordan Europas så ut for flere hundre år siden.</p>
<p>Vi vil oppholde oss i flere landsbyer, noen med UNESCO World Heritage status, og besøke byen Sighisoara (Schässburg) med sin mektige middelalderske borgby, også den med Verdansarvstatus.</p>
<p>Innkvartering vil stort sett være i familiedrevne  gjestehus i landsbyene.</p>
<p>På dagtid vil vi vandre ut i kulturlandskapet som gir en unikt vakker ramme omkring undervisningen i landskapsmaleri ved Lene Ørnhoft og Christopher Rådlund.</p>
<p>Noen dager vil vi vandre på stier gjennom skog og mark fra en landsby til den neste, ca. 5-6 kilometer, med stopp for lunsj og maleundervisning underveis. Bagasjen fraktes  med bil.</p>
<p><strong></strong>Vi vil også møte lokale arkitekter, håndverkere og andre fagfolk som kan gi et innblikk i kultur- og arkitekturhistorien og arbeidet som nå skjer for å verne og videreutvikle tradisjonene.<br />

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>INFORMASJON OM UNDERVISNINGEN FRA CHRISTOPHER RÅDLUND</strong></span></p>
<p>Det blir også internasjonal deltakelse på kurset. Christopher Rådlund beskriver kursinnholdet slik på engelsk:</p>
<p>-We invite you to experience the pastoral idyll of the old Saxon parts of Transylvania,  Romania (Siebenbürgen).</p>
<p>Learn how to paint landscapes in the romantic-classical tradition.</p>
<p>In Transylvania, you will have the possibility to experience and study a cultural,  agrarian landscape much similar to medieval times; the pre-modern landscape that existed in central Europe until  the 18th century.</p>
<p><strong>What could be better than learning how to paint  these  landscapes in the traditions from Albrecht Dürer to Caspar David Friedrich?  The Transylvanian fields and woods, villages and farms offer the perfect sceneries for those who want to paint in the romantic-classical manner. This is a pastoral environment which Dürer would have recognised or Friedrich found suitable for his compositions.</strong></p>
<p><strong> You will learn the basic methods of classical landscape painting, as used by the Dutch masters of the 17<sup>th</sup> century or German romanticists of the early 19<sup>th</sup> century.  We will focus on oil painting,  but it will also be possible to paint in acrylic or watercolour. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Canvases , brushes and  oil paints will be provided by the organizers (but not watercolour paints and paper) .  We will recommend to bring your own field easel, and foldable stool. Both can be bought at art supply stores.</p>
<p>Christopher Rådlund, born 1970 in Gothenburg , Sweden, is one of Scandinavia’s leading landscape painter’s. The last twenty years he has been based in Oslo, Norway, since 1999 as an active member of  the movement for figurative painting in Norway.  Christopher Rådlund  is also a member of INTBAU – International  Network for Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism.<br />

<p>Velkommen til den femte studieturen med professor Julio Cesar Perez ved arkitektskolen i Havana som guide og Audun Engh som norsk reiseleder. En introduksjon til cubansk arkitektur- og kulturhistorie. Vi besøker tre byer som er UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Gamle Havana, Cienfuegos og Trinidad.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>En deltaker i 2010, dr. philos.  Truls Aslaksby, inntil nylig førsteantikvar hos Byantikvaren i Oslo, skriver:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Turen i 2010 &#8211; med det samme opplegget &#8211; var en god miks av program og  fritid, av læring og gode opplevelser, av gammel og ny historie. Vi  møtte de lokale ekspertene i byplanlegging og kulturminnevern, såvel som  menige cubanere hos hvem vi har innlosjert både i Havana og andre deler  av Cuba. Anbefales!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong><em>Sivilarkitekt  Paal Malde, Grimstad, skriver</em></strong>:’</p>
<p><strong>- “Jeg tillater meg å anbefale denne turen på det sterkeste. Jeg var selv med på dette opplegget for 2 år siden, og det var en fantastisk opplevelse. Arkitekturprofessor Julio Cesar Perez er et usedvanlig hyggelig menneske å bli kjent med, og fantastisk kunnskapsrik. Man får et utrolig innblikk i Cubas historie, og et lass med spennende opplevelse.”</strong></p>

<p>I  Havana vil vi oppleve både gamlebyen som er under restaurering, og  nyere  bydeler som Vedado og Miramar. Turen til de vakre og godt bevarte   mindre byene Cienfuegos og Trinidad vil skje med charterbuss. En overnatting i hver av de to byene</p>

<p><strong>&#8212;</strong></p>
<p><strong>I</strong><strong>nnkvartering</strong></p>
<p>Innkvartering syv netter inkludert i prisen  vil bli i &#8220;Casa  Particular&#8221;, leiligheter der cubanere leier ut rom. Man  får dermed  kontakt med cubanske familier  og et bedre innblikk i  samfunnslivet enn  det  turistotelene kan tilby. Boligene er i bydelen El Vedado, nær det  legandariske &#8220;gangsterhotellet&#8221; Nacional fra 1930. Standarden på  boligene er god. Frokost serveres om ønsket av vertskapet (30 kr).</p>
<p>Det er mulig å bo på hotell de fem nettene i Havana hvis man foretrekker det. Vi vil anbefale <strong>Hotel Nacional,</strong> fem minuter å gå fra der de øvrige bor..  Merkostnaden ved å bo på dette legendariske hotellet er ca. 550 kr. pr. natt.</p>

<p><strong>HAVANA PLANSMIE  / CHARRETTE </strong></p>
<p><strong>21-26. MARS 2011.</strong></p>
<p>For femte gang arrangeres det en ukelang workshop der cubanske og internasjonale deltakere fra flere fagfelt inkludert arkitektur, planlegging, bygningsvern og kunsthistorie  lager forslag for byutvikling i Havana basert på bevaring og videreutvikling av byens rike historie.</p>
<p>I 2011 skal vi fokusere på bydelen Centro fra 1800-tallet og med beliggenhet inntil Gamle Havana og strandpromenaden Malecon. Bydelen er sterkt nedslitt, og jevnlig kollapser bygninger,  men området store muligheter for utvikling og oppgradering med funksjonsblanding og turisme. Formålet med plansmia er å lage planer som kan hindre at Havana  gjentar andre byers feilgrep når nye utviklingsmuligheter åpner seg i årene som kommer. Havana er i dag den eneste historiske latinamerikanske storbyen som ikke er mer eller mindre ødelagt av bilbasert byutvikling med motorveier og riving av historiske bydeler.</p>
<p>Professor Julio Cesar Perez og andre cubanske fagfolk inviterer kolleger fra hele verden til å delta på en dugnad for å vise at bevaring av kulturarven og byutvikling til beste for befolkningen kan kombineres. Teamet vil bestå av ca. 30 personer, halvparten cubanere. Arbeidsspråket vil være engelsk.</p>
<p>På alle foregående plansmier har det vært norske deltakere, de fleste arkitekter eller antikvarer. I tillegg har deltakere kommet fra bl.a. USA, Storbritannia, Canada, Sverige, Tyskland, Spania, Portigal, latinamerikanske land og selvsagt Cuba.</p>
<p>Deltakeravgift for plansmia er 300 CUC (convertible pesos, turistvalutaen med verdi omtrent som en US $, tilsvarende ca. 1900 kr, som går til å dekke en andel av faktiske kostnader, som teknisk utstyr og leie av lokaler. Vi kan bistå med å bestille rimelig overnatting (ca. 300 kr pr. natt).</p>
<p>Hvis man kun vil delta på charetten anbefales utreise  fra Norge lørdag 19. mars, ankomst sen ettermiddag, og hjemreise lørdag 26. mars med ankomst Oslo 27. mars.  Oppholdet kan om ønsket forlenges med ekstra overnattinger.</p>
