Friday was dedicated to Studio. All of the Architecture, Interior Architecture and Urban Planning students gathered together and were split up into groups for our first assignment. Each group was assigned a building that we will be visiting on our study tours. My group was assigned the Zollverein School of Business and Design in Essen, Germany. (Design by Sanaa Architects) In one week, we are to build a site model, a detailed and precise building model with interior and exterior detailing and views along with presentation materials giving information about the site and the building. Needless to say, I spent much of the weekend in Studio. Already.
The DIS Welcome party took place on Friday night at a local night club. Some friends and I continued the party at a local bar with some highly entertaining Danish students. The night concluded with a hilarious train ride home.
Saturday evening, my host family hosted a dinner party, sometimes called a “hygge (hoogah)” here. We ate delicious food and drank tasty wine to which we toasted “Skol!” and I was introduced to more friendly Danes. I still cannot pick up a word of Danish, but thankfully almost everyone speaks English.
