Studytour to Oulu - Finland

We were a group from the office on a studytrip to Oulu - Finland during 7th -11th of November 2012. We visited the Architecture department, Universitetet of Oulu and participated in the Go North Architecture Business Arena, invited by Nordic Business Link. We met a lot of nice and talented people, and have seen both modern and mature buildings and landscapes. We hope our new contacts can be developed and new opportunities created for architecture and landscaping in the high north of Europe !
