This trip was a combination of professional travel and a family hiking trip add-on. The AIA (American Institute of Architects) Committee on Design international trip this year was a visit to the cities of Oslo, Bergen, & Stavanger. Norway blew us away with its gorgeous fjords and countryside, interspersed with traditional wood stave architecture and coupled with the most outstanding modern Scandinavian designs out there. It is a truly breathtakingly beautiful country. I would return in a heartbeat.
