EASA is a self-managed, nomadic platform for experimental pedagogy within the field of architecture and Intermediate National Contact Meeting (INCM) is the main tool for participation and governance which keeps EASA together by passing down the organization of the event to the next group of easians.
​
In INCM all the National Contacts and engaged members of the EASA community gather to elaborate on what EASA is and what it should become in the future. Ultimately, ideas emerge and different themes for the EASA event in two years' time come up, and through an iterative process of critique and discussion, there is a consensus on which idea will become a reality, and how.
The theme
The team of the most recent INCM was “Resonate”.
To Resonate it means crafting an environment where discussions are not just intellectual but embodied experiences where dialogue is not only spoken but sensed. It is about experimenting with new ways of exchanging ideas, using movement, sound, and presence to deepen our connection to the themes we explore.
WHERE
INCM Resonate was held in Zaļenieki in Latvia over 9 days (27.09-5.10.2025).
Zaļenieki, once at the heart of Semigallian lands, has been shaped not only by culture and geography but by political decisions that often weakened rather than strengthened local life. The palace we see today rose in 1768 – 1775 on orders
of Duke Biron, with 200,000 bricks to build a hunting manor, around which the village was formed. Later The agrarian reform of the 1920s, though celebrated for redistributing land from the German - Baltic nobility to Latvian farmers, also fragmented estates into small, less viable farms.
This dismantled large scale agricultural production, leaving individual farmers vulnerable to market shocks and limiting long-term development.
