Happy new year one and all, we hope you’re all refreshed from your break.
The EUSAS team have been planning a number of social events over the christmas, as well as an exciting line up of lectures for the Spring Semester. We thought the best way to get the EUSAS social calendar rolling was to arrange a EUSAS get together this Friday 20th January. We’ll start in the Teviot Library Bar at around 8pm, and we’ve arranged free entry to Liquid Rooms for all EUSAS members until 1am.
We hope you can join us, it will be a good chance to catch up with you all!
ESALA is proud to welcome Professor Mike Cadwell, the George Simpson Visiting Critic, giving a lecture entitled “Four Lines”.

Brilliant website designed and produced by Master/Diploma students of ESALA graduating in 2011. The website features work of students that worked in Marseilles and Budapest.
We’ll be kicking off the year with an action packed social – this is a great introduction to the social side of being an Architecture Student at Edinburgh!
Meet us in the Minto House lobby at 6.30pm where there will be a free glass of wine or beer for EUSAS members – you’ll meet other EUSAS members from throughout the school and there’ll be a welcome speech from our president. After, we’ll head to Malones where there’ll be more drinks and free food! We’ll finish the night at the Liquid Rooms with some awesome music and dancing. Not to be missed!
The Cockburn Association have organised 2011′s Doors Open Day on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th September. A wide range of buildings across the city will throw open their doors to the general public, with some venues offering guided tours and lectures. This year’s event has a sporting theme in anticipation of the 2012 Olympics. Particular favourites of the EUSAS team include Wasps Studios (venue 20) where artist Jenny Smith will be demonstrating laser cutting and etching and Edward Cullinan’s John Hope Gateway (venue 22) where tours of the building will reveal the timber technology used in construction.
This fantastic FREE event is Glasgow’s way of celebrating its buildings, its streets, its parks and its people – in short, itself! Held on the third weekend in September each year, there are walks, talks, seminars, and exhibitions in addition to more than 100 fabulous buildings being open to visitors. Organised by Glasgow Building Preservation Trust since 1990, Doors Open Day, Glasgow’s Built Heritage Festival, offers a whole week of interesting things to do, see and hear prior to the weekend of Doors being Open.
