Chania meeting, 1992    See detailed Reports Objectives The increasing demand for new higher education facilities in the developing countries and the extension and adaptation of existing university facilities to new requlirefnents in developed countries, are presenting a number of problems. Architects and planners all over the world are facing these problems and related research and study is carried oLIt in many countries. An exchange of information and experiences on the subject and at an international level is becoming necessary. The Working Group of the UIA “Educational and Cultural Spaces” in collaboration with UNESCO and the Technical Chamber of Greece  organized the XIth International Seminar on Educational and Cultural Spaces on the above subject The Seminar proposed to examine matters related to the policy, planning and implementation of higher education facilities. Special emphasis was given to the growing demand for new uses in existing shells. In particular, the Seminar  aimed an exchange of experiences and information on: a. Policies concerning the analysis of the situation and the determination of objectives. b. Planning matters such as the academic plan and the social obiective, the location and the site development policy. c. Implementation procedures and methodology, such as the functional analysis and the preparation of briefs, the design and construction as well as the maintenance programmes and policies. d. Energy consumption methods in buildings of higher education. It is expected that the above subjects will be related to the growing demand for the integration of the university with its immediate environment, urban or otherwise. This integration concerns not only the physical aspects but also the cultural ones in which the university becomes a pole of attraction serving all citizens with its physical facilities and with its social, academic and cultural potential.
