The buildings look like they are squeezed together, each one holding up the next. The city has a darkness to it that was kind of scary, but also intriguing. We were only there for a couple of days, so I HAVE to go back and explore more! We used the canal buses as transportation while we were here, ate some amazing food and pastries and enjoyed some other local offerings.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In Stockholm we had to stay in a hostel, which was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. First thing I did after getting my luggage to the room: find food! Next thing...More touring and sketching of course! </span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arrival in Sweden was so sweet! Being on a tour bus gets old and the countryside of Sweden was a great place to stretch out and relax. First thing we did after settling into our cute little cottage room: hit the sauna! AWWW!!! Amazing way to relax from all of the traveling, walking, touring, and school. The DIS group crammed as many people as we could into one sauna and took turns running back and forth to the lake to cool off. I'm a wimp so I only hit the lake once; it was chilly! No pics from this event. A new DIS policy. Here's part of the group at a nice sit down meal that was planned for us.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

WALKED FOREVER to get there! I got a beer and sat and chatted with a Swedish man who just moved to Norway. He is a non-fiction writer who had an interesting story to tell me. He had just been in the same bar the night before having a couple of drinks. He said he was there for awhile writing on his laptop. When he got up to leave a Norwegian man grabbed him by the neck and brought him to the ground saying that he was stealing someone's laptop bag. Even though he was in the bar for awhile none of the bartenders who served him defended him or told the guy that the laptop was his! Messed up! I'm still not sure why he wanted to return to the same bar the next night, but I'm glad he did because he was WAY nicer than any Norwegian I have met so far!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="goog_441310139"></span><span id="goog_441310140"></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

This is an archaeological site of medieval ruins that architect Sverre Fehn built a modern museum around so visitors can explore the site without doing any further damage. I did A LOT of sketching here! The connections and light in this place were so amazing! One of my favorite places so far.</span><br />

We are hearing that the number of people who have lost their lives continues to rise, yesterday they were saying two and today 91. We know they have a Norwegian man in custody as a suspect for the shootings, so hopefully this will be the end of the attacks. A small group of DIS student were on a ferry to Oslo for the weekend when the attacks were occurring; it will be interesting to hear about their experience.</span>Franciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15056908690174823440noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588846673419892706.post-27315869192456439172011-07-18T04:55:00.000-07:002011-07-18T04:56:35.680-07:00Check it out!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know my photography leaves much to be desired so I would suggest checking out my fellow classmate's blog for professional pictures of the Copenhagen/ Olso/ Stockholm experience.</span><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Sunday morning we had breakfast on the ferry. Most of the group was hurting from the events of Saturday night, but there was no rest planned for the weary. As soon as the boat docked we got on the bus to get to our hotel in Oslo, Norway. When we got to the hotel we didn't even get a chance to put our luggage in our rooms; instead we put all of our luggage into one room and took off for a walking tour of the city. We walked to the new harbor front development in Oslo which was very nice, but obviously only planned for the middle to upper class population. Cute cafes dominated the ground floor of most buildings and large gorgeous lofts overlooked the harbor full of equally gorgeous yachts. After seeing how the upperclass live in Oslo we walked to the Nasjonal Museet of Arkitektur for lunch. </span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After lunch we toured the architecture museum; at this point I was truly a member of the walking dead. I could not focus or keep my eyes open and the day STILL wasn't over. After a couple of hours in the museum we walked to the Olso Opera House for the last tour of the day. This place is amazing! It's on the water's edge and is designed to emulate an iceberg. The wide planes of white marble that form the building's platform called me to rest. I laid down on the warm surface for awhile, but you know marble isn't ideal for napping on so I walked around exploring before our tour started. I was so thankful that our tour guide captivated me. She was a petite beautiful Norwegian woman with the most soothing voice and hand gestures. If I were rich I would hire her to tell me stories. As I said I was tired, but I didn't want to miss anything she had to say so I kept going!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Brynda went for a run around the lakes by our flat and she saw the Copenhagen wake boarding team practicing for a competition, so I got up and ready to go super fast to go watch. The riders were being pulled by a zip line; it was pretty cool, but I didn't really get any good pictures. There was a yellow lab on shore that kept barking and following the riders along the zip line path. SO CUTE! It made me miss my Casher.</span><br />

After I got settled in and ate dinner we realized there were five people in our room and the girl who switched rooms with me was not actually in THAT room. I know I am too nice at times, but I didn't want to make the girl I switched with move out of my assigned room so I had to search for a room with only three girls to find a bed. It all worked out in the end, but I was irritated. (partially my fault anyway for not double checking)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first experience with a Norwegian did not end great. I have heard about negative interactions from others in the group and someone from a Swedish guy, so I guess people from Norway can just be rude. After hearing their stories I don't feel so bad for cussing the Norwegian guy out.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The night did get better. A group of other DIS students and I ended up hanging out on the boat deck all night and watching the sunrise, which was around 4am. I will post pictures of that experience later; only one person had their camera so I need to get the images from him.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

It looks like I ended up with the toughest studio professors and one of the larger projects, but so far things have been going well. We are being asked to design a kayak club on the canals of an area in Copenhagen called Christianshavn. Part of our research is to explore the Baltic canals via kayak. It was gorgeous on Wednesday, the day we were scheduled to go out, but because of the massive storm that hit the area last week the harbor was closed due to high levels of bacteria in the water. So, instead of going out on a beautiful sunny day we went out today, on a cold and rainy day! Me and many other females in the studio class were pretty nervous about the entire experience, especially when the first guy who got into a kayak tipped over and fell into the water. After getting into my kayak my nerves settled. We kayaked along the same path as the boat tour we took last week. It was just a lot more work (I'm already sore) and the perspective was more dynamic. We got to kayak under this building, the Royal Danish Playhouse.</span><br />

We had to research and build a model of what we found to be exemplary about the Stockholm Library in Sweden. The Library has a dark narrow passageway that ascends into this massive bright multi-storey rotunda lined with books. This is one of the first examples where the public could access books without the assistance of a librarian. We're going on a study tour in Sweden next week to visit this building and many others. Should be exciting to actually see it!</span></div>Franciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15056908690174823440noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588846673419892706.post-58033018797284025162011-07-04T15:14:00.000-07:002011-07-04T15:14:46.886-07:00Project 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvE7X2VLhIF9U_YvPup-8VulJpuBGb2ayFY-VEml1V_WBQts9uivEqFdaij-tF2QqGunGxWa1dLzWRqZGV0pQ6QwJiXMQbUKHyVlFBlnC9g3mHm_iCCk3WqUsqii11ygBYCeMbejwPyb2I/s1600/IMG_0220.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvE7X2VLhIF9U_YvPup-8VulJpuBGb2ayFY-VEml1V_WBQts9uivEqFdaij-tF2QqGunGxWa1dLzWRqZGV0pQ6QwJiXMQbUKHyVlFBlnC9g3mHm_iCCk3WqUsqii11ygBYCeMbejwPyb2I/s320/IMG_0220.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We used free tabloid papers to represent the books that are stacked in the 360 degree rotunda.</span></div>Franciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15056908690174823440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588846673419892706.post-37621726997265358902011-07-04T15:09:00.000-07:002011-07-04T15:10:55.823-07:00Project 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQp1gq7MUsv2J8zDPbwlPRe8Nj3GHzeKaOoVi2gfCe72EVXY4H5Gz-Nd0bAcJ4qaw1TTFkN_Y-xu2TjEPSAJTBukY0UqPNlSGtJi05Bbclhi1DJlyf1sOmyCO2LcDkfLGiRdDcDyHPHsZ9/s1600/IMG_0222.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQp1gq7MUsv2J8zDPbwlPRe8Nj3GHzeKaOoVi2gfCe72EVXY4H5Gz-Nd0bAcJ4qaw1TTFkN_Y-xu2TjEPSAJTBukY0UqPNlSGtJi05Bbclhi1DJlyf1sOmyCO2LcDkfLGiRdDcDyHPHsZ9/s320/IMG_0222.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our representation of the relief in the Library's entrance hall.</span></div>Franciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15056908690174823440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588846673419892706.post-89082311646190888232011-07-04T15:06:00.000-07:002011-07-04T15:06:01.003-07:00Project 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIdZIkVVyTLJDM1qb_-R4fKP76MIT10PoshTqTCM_SczPSbi4aGfp2QWjRzqqWZvySdG75OM7Vse0GljMe1M-Y35fNFaqO950eTBKjSd9fRhv20tVejKKWMbKGjnwFAPjMjDfhe9mcr7E/s1600/IMG_0214.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIdZIkVVyTLJDM1qb_-R4fKP76MIT10PoshTqTCM_SczPSbi4aGfp2QWjRzqqWZvySdG75OM7Vse0GljMe1M-Y35fNFaqO950eTBKjSd9fRhv20tVejKKWMbKGjnwFAPjMjDfhe9mcr7E/s320/IMG_0214.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our completed site/ massing model of Asplund's Stockholm Library.</span></div>Franciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15056908690174823440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588846673419892706.post-82888208674090628572011-07-04T15:00:00.000-07:002011-07-04T15:00:35.582-07:00In studio working on Project 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaob_JX32VnAOi17xYBW1Hg7H4oAu5_M_PVXM4TyNMH2fMIK16HvWF7cFx0NlvIhzyqoJ_c8dk-7D6xaYj8dqytz4wskhobsS4FGfPbmoz-wu9s734p6FylEqPrQlNBdaD_SkfequmHOUw/s1600/IMG_0200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaob_JX32VnAOi17xYBW1Hg7H4oAu5_M_PVXM4TyNMH2fMIK16HvWF7cFx0NlvIhzyqoJ_c8dk-7D6xaYj8dqytz4wskhobsS4FGfPbmoz-wu9s734p6FylEqPrQlNBdaD_SkfequmHOUw/s320/IMG_0200.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shawn working on the section model of the Stockholm Library in Sweden by Gunnar Asplund.</span></div>Franciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15056908690174823440noreply@blogger.com1
