CPH Field Trip ‘26

LAA350 goes to Copenhagen for the second time. This year the cohort of 35 students + 2 teachers will blast through places like Ørestad, Nordhavn, BIG, COBE, silos, metro stations, recycled bricks, pizza, questionable amounts of buffet food and, potentially, discoteca. Last year, Tin printed a delicate A5 physical pamphlet, in which near 80% of the students had lost within the first hours of the cruise. This forced him to design this high-quality digital itinerary with interactive maps and descriptions etc.

LAA340 Diagram

Tin held the lecture/workshop Diagram at “LAA340 Design and Management of Urban Blue-Green Infrastructures”. The lecture encourages students to draw, convey and convince beyond the conventional plans and sections of landscape architecture. The workshop therefore focuses on using diagrams to translate complex analyses, processes and systems into clear ideas—and eventually, design proposals.

LAD102 Awe-inspiring GIS lecture

Tin held for the second time, the guest lecture GIS in Practice: Planning, Tools and Bizniz for LAD102 GIS – Introduction at NMBU. Tin was instructed to give an awe-inspiring monologue, and to say the least, Tin never dissapoints. The lecture also examined maps as instruments of persuasion: they may appear objective, but what they include, exclude and emphasise can determine what gets built, what gets approved and where the money might be hiding.

LAA350 - Consolidated lectures

Tin kicks off his LAA350 lecture series with an extended oppsamlingsforelesning, combining and revising two previous lectures on Oppgaveforståelse and From-analysis-to-concept. This year, the lecture is structured around three connected parts: 1. Shaping a brief, 2. Act on the brief, and 3. From analysis-to-proposition. It also establishes what sits at the core of LAA350—and, perhaps more importantly, what does not.
