This project takes its name from the Bjørvika Barcode, a series of twelve narrow high-rise buildings with different width and heights, situated on the waterfront of the fjord, in Oslo city center.

​

The work Oslo Barcode represents the famous row of buildings partly engulfed in water. This visual comes from some of the inhabitants' beliefs that the artificial land supporting the high-rises is sinking. This rumor or narrative is not verified but its existence resonates with the low popularity of the Barcode. In fact, the area had been heavily gentrified for them to be erected there, and become the cluster of corporate headquarters it is today.
