Study trip to Gothenburg

LAA350 is heading abroad and east of Oslo, to Gothenburg. The two-day trip was meant to inspire the students and to strengthen the bonds in each of the teams. While there, we got to visit White Architects and get a guided tour by Gothenburg’s officials at Älvrummet - their entity managing the harborfront developments.

All of the search for a city, transportation arrangements, research on interesting sites to visit, and key personnel to talk to, was done solely by Anja Standal. Even Mads chipped in with a visit Architects, although one might say they were inspired by Tin, but one should not make such a claim. Tin however, was the sole responsible of book a restaurant for 50+ people on a short notice, which led to the famous Pizza Moreno Investigation (which we will come back to later). The runner-up choice was buffet at Ching’s Palace, which has 3/5 stars on TripAdvisor.
