Astonishing modern architecture. Love it. I'm also glad a couple of new skyscrapers is soon coming up on the other side of the tracks.
Hi Pål! I just want to let you know that your videos have been so helpful! I've had the Oslo playlist playing on loop for the past 2 days as I plan my itinerary. We're staying right across the Barcode buildings and for an archibuff, I'm super excited now because of this video. Thank you so much!
Hei hei! That's really nice to hear. You'll for sure enjoy the Barcode area, much has happened there since this episode was made. Enjoy!
I would like to visit this place in the future 😍
hi, it's a beautiful modern architecture.
Sure is!
Very interesting :) Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you! You welcome :)
As an architecture geek I love this :)
Thanks, that is nice to hear :)
Thank you very much for this interesting video
You welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it
Great video! The Deloitte building is beautiful!
It really is!
This looks so good😍
Thanks a lot! :)
Those buildings are so interesting! I hope more areas in the States will think of building structures like those. Their purpose is so well thought out.
That looks awesome and so different to when I visited Oslo last time in 1995. I came with the nighttrain from Stockholm and bought 2 buns and half a liter of milk at the station for breakfast. That was so expensive, that I could not afford to buy anything else to eat the rest of the day and had to leave the same evening with the night train to Kopenhagen. (I had a scandinavia ticket) Fortunately the entrance fee of the Munch museum was free, so I could visit it. It was somehow up a hill quite far from the city center back in the days and looked much more "Norwegian" than the new one ;) (and much more inviting for thiefs, there were no guards, because burglarie was unknown back then. Good old days. In the 80s I was on a campsite in Norway and somebody (probably a tourist) broke into a car. The police was called but the officer who came did not know what to to, because it never happend before in his career ) I think they schould make the tracks of the central station underground. Would be much nicer. Thanks for your great videos and keep them coming!
That's some good stories you got there :D I enjoyed reading them, thanks for sharing!
I knew there was some talk about putting a roof over the train tracks and build a bus station on top. Let's see what happens..
Thanks, Pal., I found this very interesting. Oslo is such a wonderful city and I hope to return someday.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you over here some day again.
Each of your videos brings back great memories of our tour of Oslo with you! The Barcode architecture is very interesting. Thanks Pal!
Thank you Beth, hope you are doing well!
A GREAT video. I absolutely love the architecture. Edgy but looks exactly right to me. Interesting forms, colors, and especially good planning to open up the fjord to walkers. Good stuff!! And.....none of them has "Trump" on them in gold letters. Lucky Norway. Thanks for a fun tour. PS The opera house is perhaps my favorite building in the world.
Many thanks Tom. The Opera house is one of my favorites also. Once they open up again I might make an episode on that building. Fortunately nothing here has Trump written in gold letters..hehe
I love how so much in Norway/Oslo is thoroughly thought out.
Yea me too! It's good to have a long term plan laid out when such big parts of the city are being re-developed
oh I definitely want to walk through this part of Oslo. Love the idea that you can live close to the water and walk from some of these building indoor. As you probably saw in Montreal, we have a downtown area that is connected underground with tons of stores and restaurants. In winter is it a way of staying warm while getting around.
Yes I enjoyed the downtown area. Would like to go back in summer though when its green and warm
Very nice and informative video.Thank you. Look forward to see more of Oslo/Norway.
Thank you Rachel :)
Interesting and beautiful buildings. It's fun to discover more about Oslo!
Tusen takk Kristi
Great video again Pal! Barcode buildings are beautiful!
Thank you, they sure are!
I like that Norwegian cat the best :)
Yea nice appearance :)
Nice job! Have not been to Norway yet, but your video tours make this a tempting future trip. We were also on one of your 2018 tours - different country, but same excellent experience.
Thank you! Hope to see you in Norway some day :)
Fabulous!
Thanks for giving a little tour about this part of town! Even though I live in Oslo, I knew very little about the architecture behind Barcode. Great video :)
You welcome! Tusen takk for your kind comment :)
Great video and revives fond memories of participating in one of your 2018 tour groups which you led.
Thanks Mike, always nice to hear from you
Pal, Love your work! Our town, Columbus, IN is known for it's archecticture so this was good to see . Noticed Rick Steve's had you on his web sight.
Hi John, glad you enjoyed it. Yes it was nice of Rick to share my work
Is the Barcode now part of the Rick Steves Oslo tour itinerary - it should be!
I think as the whole area now starts to be more accessible and with the opening of the Munch Museum later this year, it should def be in the itinerary in future tours!
Nice, How can i buy an apartment here?

No I’m not embarrassed. Completely. No No, No. my goodness.
My be they’re using good material architecture. For me absolutely no not.
One or two buildings have characters.
No for me no
difference and repetition won't change the fact that this is a non-place
Yes, to be honest I hardly go down there to hang out, and most people don't... Might change when the whole area is developed, but let's see.
@@norwaywithpal i think that it's a beautiful architecture but spatially and anthropologically speaking these projects doesn't inspire comunity
@@fdbkfdbk1088 I agree
@@norwaywithpal do you have informations about the impementation? I mean there was some resistance to ther enovation of the area and the firms changed a little bit the facade in order to make in acceptable.
How ugly. Minimalistic architecture, faceless, cottages, and warehouses.
😱
@@norwaywithpal Please do not tell me that those warehouses and big barns are pretty.
@@ditim144 I partly agree with you Diti, they are not all so charming. When they first started to re-develop that area those were the first buildings that came and I remember I was a bit shocked by their appearance. Now that the whole neighborhood is coming together they sort of "fit" more in.. But I do think we could have used that space far better. Their thin and long shapes makes it feel quite empty in between many of them
@@norwaywithpal I have visited Oslo a couple of times. It is enough to take a look at the old center, especially at the buildings along Karl Johans gate then it is obvious how ugly the "barcode" is.
