Archilife Delegation for SB2002 International Conference(2) (Part: 2)
![]() Then, we visited a renewal case in Pilestredet Park. The designer turned an abandoned barn into a multi-storey dormitory. In the scene, we saw the towering barn has turned into a dormitory with a colorful appearance, injecting a new life to an abandoned building. The near neighborhood was quiet, and there was a river running across. The whole environment made one envy of the students living there and inspired ARF delegates'great expectation on Symbiosphere 1 Center. ![]() At noon, the delegation had lunch in Balaklava, a town on transit to Fredrikstad. In addition to expressing her gratitude for the toil of delegates, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying hoped that they could write down what they have learned from the trip and what improvements should made when they could still remember everything. She also asked them to depict, as much as possible, the facial features and conversation of international friends they have talked to in order to provide more complete and detailed information for future retrieval. Before the lunch, it was really touching that the organizer arranged a scholarly senior to show delegates the history and road network of this ancient town. Before heading for the next destination, delegates grasped the time to visit the harbor, forts, city gates, log cabins, paths and parks in the vicinity in order to freely enjoy this leisure moment in the busy life. ![]() ![]() ![]() After these visits, the bus headed toward the Norwegian border with Sweden on the highway, marking our official farewell to Norway, a place where we have stayed for six days. The next stop was Gothenburg, Sweden. ![]() When the night fell, we arrived at the Ekocentrum in Gothenburg to visit various energy saving facilities displayed there. The escort explained to us in detail the structure and related issues of different kinds of solar boards, their classifications, and fuel batteries. Though we had traveled a long way, we kept our spirits up to collect information, hoping that it could be useful for the upcoming Symbiosphere 1 Center. After having dinner in groups, we dragged the heavy luggage and took the bus to the Quality Hotel. |
