BARCODE
In a very short space of time, Oslo has become a modern and innovative city. The city is constantly changing, while retaining its authenticity. Modern buildings mingle with older ones, the city expands and new districts spring up, as in the case of Bjørvika. This area of central Oslo has undergone a spectacular transformation, from a former container port to a new, trendy and ultra-modern urban district. Bjørvika rose from the ground in just a few years and is now one of the city's most exclusive districts, as well as being a major cultural hub. The project is based on a desire for harmony between city and nature, which includes the creation of green spaces and beaches, such as Sørenga Sjøbad, in the heart of the city. In addition to the now famous Barcode, Bjørvika's development is far from over, with the opening of two huge cultural complexes in 2020 and 2021 respectively: the Deichman Library and the new Munch Museum.
The Barcode is part of a complex designed by Norwegian and Dutch architects. It consists of a row of narrow buildings, each different in shape and detail. This construction project has completely changed the profile of the city, which previously had very few tall buildings. In terms of architecture, Art Nouveau predominates. The buildings house major national and international companies, apartments, as well as restaurants, boutiques and galleries on the first floor.
