The Barcode Project is a section of the Bjørvika portion of the Fjord City redevelopment on former dock and industrial land in central Oslo. It consists of a row of new multi-purpose high-rise buildings, that was completed in 2016. The developer is marketing the project as “The Opera Quarter.” There has been intense public debate about the height and shape of the buildings.

The Barcode buildings are between Dronning Eufemias gate (Queen Eufemia’s Street), which will be the main east–west thoroughfare in the Bjørvika neighborhood and is a stretch of what is currently Bispegata, and Trelastgata (Timber Street, a new street that during planning was also called Sporgata, Track Street), which will run alongside the rail lines to Oslo Central Station on the northern edge of the development. A line of apartment buildings will be between Dronning Eufemias gate and the Oslofjord, where the new Oslo Opera House has already been built.

Some are enthusiastic about the fresh architecture, the “champagne apartments,” and the unmatched opportunity to reshape the urban landscape and relieve pressure on a rapidly growing city without diminishing existing green space.
However, there has been widespread criticism of the heights and designs of the Barcode buildings, both from architects and from citizens of Oslo. The Barcode has been described as a barrier between the fjord and the rest of the city that will destroy Oslo’s character as an open, low-rise city with a lot of green space and cast a permanent shadow on adjacent neighborhoods for the benefit of a rich few.
The architecture has been described as chaotic, as part of a trend of spectacular buildings, which within a few years will be seen as having disfigured the city. In addition to the disruption of the very large building site, the project has been described as hostile to the urban life of the city: unbalanced in favor of private business space and with too few shopping and eating opportunities for the public, and narrow, corridor-like passages between the buildings.

The project “is among the most protested . . . ever in Oslo.” A petition campaign in opposition to the building of the high-rises received over 30,000 signatures in 2007, and according to a survey by Aftenposten in December of the same year, 71% of the population of Oslo opposed the project. In 2008 a charrette was organized to find alternatives.

Den Gamle Færgehavn near Storebæltsbroen in Korsør in Denmark

Den Gamle Færgehavn near Storebæltsbroen in Korsør in Denmark

Den Gamle Færgehavn near Storebæltsbroen in Korsør is a former harbor of the ferry over the Great Belt in Denmark.

Korsør is a Danish town and port. It is out on the Great Belt, on the Zealand side, just south of where the Great Belt Bridge lands. It was the site of the municipal council of Korsør municipality – today it is part of Slagelse municipality.
Formerly the main ferry port from Zealand to Funen, the town of Korsør is divided into two halves by the Korsør Nor inlet, with the northern part named Halskov. Most of the historical southern part of Korsør is low-lying and prone to flooding.

The Storebæltsforbindelsen or Great Belt Fixed link is a multi-element fixed link crossing the Great Belt strait between the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen. It consists of five structures: a road suspension bridge and a railway tunnel between Zealand and the small island Sprogø located in the middle of the Great Belt, and a box girder bridge for both road and rail traffic between Sprogø and Funen. The “Great Belt Bridge” (Danish: Storebæltsbroen) commonly refers to the suspension bridge, although it may also be used to mean the box-girder bridge or the link in its entirety. The suspension bridge, officially known as the East Bridge, has the world’s third longest main span (1.6 km), and the longest outside of Asia. It was designed by the Danish engineering firms COWI and Ramboll.

The link replaced the ferry service that had been the primary means of crossing the Great Belt. After more than five decades of speculation and debate, the decision to construct the link was made in 1986;[2] the original intent was to complete the railway link three years before opening the road connection, but the link opened to rail traffic in 1997 and road traffic in 1998.

The Great Belt ferries (Danish: Storebæltsfærgerne) were the train and car ferries operating across the Danish strait of Great Belt, between the islands of Zealand and Funen. up to the late 1990s The railway ferry link was established in 1883, while automobile-only ferries started operating in 1930.

The ferry services ceased operating with the opening of the Great Belt Fixed Link, which occurred in 1997 for rail and 1998 for car traffic. Despite the popularity of the fixed link, some ferries still connect eastern and western Denmark. The company Mols-Linien continues to operate ferries between northwest Zealand and East Jutland, while the Spodsbjerg–Tårs route some 45 kilometres to the south also remains serviced by ferries.

The Quiraing is a landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving—the road at its base, near Flodigarry, requires repairs each year.

2018 – View from Quirang (Wikipedia)

Parts of the distinctive landscape have earned particular names. The Needle is a jagged 37 m high landmark pinnacle, a remnant of land slipping. Northwest of it is The Table, a flat grassy area slipped down from the summit plateau, with vistas of the Torridon Hills and the mountains of Wester Ross. Southwest is the Prison, a pyramidal rocky peak which can look like a medieval keep when viewed from the right angle – the ascent of this is an airy scramble.

The name Quiraing comes from Old Norse ‘Kví Rand’, which means “Round Fold”. Within the fold is The Table, an elevated plateau hidden amongst the pillars. It is said that the fold was used to conceal cattle from Viking raiders.

Swedish Cyprus Expedition with Volvo ÖV4 (1927 – 1931)

May 6th, 2018

The Swedish Cyprus Expedition was a project to systematically investigate the archaeology of the early history of Cyprus. It took place between September 1927 and March 1931 and was led by three archaeologists Einar Gjerstad, Erik Sjöqvist, Alfred Westholm and architect / photographer John Lindros.

1930 – The Swedish Cyprus Expedition core team with John Lindros, Alfred Westholm, Erik Sjöqvist and Einar Gjerstad

Archaeological excavations were made at various locations in Cyprus including Lapithos, Nitovikla, Ajia Irini and Enkomi. The results were published in four volumes from 1934 to 1972. Most of the finds are now kept at the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia and Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm.

In total, 30 sites and 375 graves were excavated. The Expedition’s Cypriotic driver and assistant, Tooulis Souidos, followed the expedition to Sweden where he continued to work with the Cyprus collections.

Einar Gjerstad had in two rounds between 1923-1924 conducted preliminary archaeological surveys in Cyprus, which resulted in the dissertation Studies on Prehistoric Cyprus, 1926. The following year, in 1927, Gjerstad proposed that a more extensive archaeological project, with Cyprus as a research area, should be organized . On the initiative of Gjerstad, the so-called Swedish Cypriot Committee was formed the same year, with the purpose of organizing an archaeological expedition to the Mediterranean Sea, as well as financially supporting the expedition in the field.

The committee consisted of Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf (Chairman), Sigurd Curman (Secretary), Johannes Hellner (Treasurer), Martin P. Nilsson and Axel W. Persson. Financing of the expedition was largely due to private donors, and Gjerstad succeeded, among other things, in receiving a few contributions from financier Ivar Kreuger.

Gjerstad was also allowed to borrow one of the first Volvo cars in production, a Volvo ÖV4. The car was probably number three in the series called ‘Jacob’, and was delivered in 1927. The Volvo performed overwhelmingly well and was able to be carried on Cyprus’s rugged donkey roads in a breathtaking speed of 60 km/h. The automobile Jacob probably meant a lot for the efficiency of the expeditions work. On old films, you see how tall statues in terracotta shake and rumble on the Volvo’s backseat during different transports. In front of larger expeditions to different parts of the island, the car was so packed with supplies that it barely could be seen under tents, camera equipment, suitcases, etc. Where the Volvo could not be used, there used camels and donkeys.

Einar Gjerstad was appointed as project manager and John Lindros, Erik Sjöqvist and Alfred Westholm were appointed as assistants. Gjerstad was responsible for the organization of the expedition while Sjöqvist and Westholm were responsible for the archaeological field work. Lindros was responsible for drawings and photographs.

The main purpose of the expedition was to investigate and, in the long run, gain increased knowledge of ancient Cyprus’s archeology and history from rock age through late Roman times, a period of more than fifty thousand years. In order to achieve this purpose, the expedition was organized as a highly flexible and moving company, with the whole of Cyprus as its research area.

In September 1927, the expedition departed from Stockholm. They were invited by Sweden’s consul in Cyprus.

Lapithos (autumn 1927-spring 1928)
In northern Cyprus lies the village of Lapithos. Near this place is a large burial place from the Bronze Age (about 2000-1800 BC) with hundreds of graves. The expedition’s excavations here 1927-28 resulted in lots of ceramics and weapons in copper and bronze.

Enkomi (June-July 1930)
The big city of Enkomi in eastern Cyprus was an important metropolis during the late Bronze Age with copper workshops, craft quarters and sanctuaries. Here, a necropolis with rich graves from the late Bronze Age (1200s BC) was examined with gold, silver and ivory objects, as well as hundreds of vases. The tombs were under the houses, which were dug out later by Cypriot and French archaeologists.

Kition (October 1929-April 1930)
The Swedish Cyprus Expedition’s excavations in Kition began in October 1929 and continued until April 1930, with a break during the winter season.

Ajia Irini (November 1929)
Many important archaeological sites have been identified by excavators. The cult spot at Ajia Irini on the northwestern coast of Cyprus was one such. During the summer of 1929 the expedition received a visit by a priest, Papa Prokopius. He had erupted a thief digger on his belongings by the village of Ajia Irini. The priest decided to transfer the excavation right to the Swedish archaeologists. The place proved to be an unspoiled sanctuary used more or less continuously since about 1200 BC. But the most important period and most finds are dating to about 650-500 BC. An army of terracotta figures hid half a meter below the sandy soil. The 2000 figures lay and stood, grouped in the form of a semicircle, much like a theater. There were clergy, warriors and ordinary Cypriots. Most statues are a couple of decimeters high or less. Many carry offerings, dance or play musical instruments to the glory of God. However, several statues are of natural size. Impressive is the so-called sacrifice priest, wearing long clothes and turban. According to the excavators, he should have kept a sacrificial knife in his raised left hand. Models of tanks with horses, multiple-figure bulls symbolize God’s male power and fertility.

Vouni
The ancient wall of Vouní on the castle cliff (Vounó means mountain in Greek) 270 meters above sea level on the northwestern coast of Cyprus, overlooking Petra, is the site of a monumental palace. The palace was used for more than a hundred years and was rebuilt several times during the 500 / 400s BC. The architects were influenced by both oriental and Greek architecture. There are no sources or fresh water at Vouní, but in the middle of the big palace there was a large cistern where rainwater from the roof could accumulate. One of the items found here during the Swedish Cyprus Expedition in 1928 was the Vouni head. It has the typical archaic smile, is easily triangular and with a characteristic calathosis in the hair. A kalathos is a kind of diadem with different motifs. Vouni heads diadem consists of dancing figures and rosettes. This smile is useful for dating and places the sculpture at about 600-500 BC. The Vouni head is also one of the more central objects in the Cyprus Exhibition at the Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm.

Petra tou Limniti (1929)
Petra tou Limniti is a small rock island on the western part of Cyprus’s north coast, about 100 meters from the coast. The expedition came to be interested in the island during the excavations of Vouni. Here you found the top of the island cultural heritage that was dating to the Stone Age. During one day at harvest time in 1929, excavations were carried out and identified four building periods.

In the winter of 1931 the excavations were over and the money ended. In accordance with the legislation in force, the findings were shared between Cyprus and Sweden and more than half of the find came to Sweden. The total amount of finds from the excavations amounts to about 18,000 objects. Of these, Sweden received about 12,000. In addition, there is a large cutting material stored in 5,000 shock cartons in the Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm’s magazine. The find was packed in 771 wooden boxes and was taken to Sweden in March 1931. The transport took one year on one of the Swedish Orient Line ships.

For several years, the Cyprus collections were kept in the Krubban quarter in the Oxenstiernska ore farm. They were completely untempered and the climate change became very dramatic. Many unique items were destroyed. Stone sculpture and ceramics burst into the strong cold. 1930s press clippings describe the difficult situation. In 1942, the History Museum in Stockholm published a number of items from the Swedish Cyprus Expedition in the exhibition “Before Fidias”.

All photos during the Swedish Cyprus Expedition were made by John B. Lindros (August 3, 1898 Vaxholm, Sweden – December 2, 1961 Nyköping, Sweden). He was a Swedish architect and photographer.
During his studies at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (1923–1925), Lindros was employed by the Nordic Museum and Skansen to study buildings around Sweden. He graduated in 1924. One of his study mates was Alfred Westholm, who later recruited him to the Swedish Cyprus Expedition.

During the expedition in Cyprus (1927–1931), Lindros worked as architect, responsible for measuring and drawing the many maps, plans and sections that are the result of an archaeological excavation. He also worked as a photographer and took an enormous amount of pictures of the excavations. He photographed when SF Studios produced a newsreel about the Swedish Cyprus expedition. As Alfred Westholm himself had experience in photographic and topographic work, Lindros worked mostly in Erik Sjöqvist’s excavation team. When Sjöqvist was ill, Lindros temporarily took over the excavation in Idalion, Cyprus. He was also interested in documenting Cypriot folklore and visited many remote villages with his camera. John’s wife Rosa Lindros followed him to Cyprus and stayed there until June 1928. She also participated in restoration of the archeological findings.

Along with expedition leader Einar Gjerstad, John Lindros was responsible for unpacking the archaeological materials after returning to Sweden. He worked with the other expedition members on the major scientific publication, The Swedish Cyprus Expedition: Finds and Results of the Excavation in Cyprus 1927-1931, volume I, volume II, volume III.

From 1933–35 John Lindros served as assistant at the Swedish Institute in Rome. He then worked at Byggnadstyrelsen in 1936, Svenska Köpmannaförbundet 1936–1937, and the insurance company Liv-Thule 1937–1940. After that Lindros had his own company. In 1944 he was employed at the Västerås county architectural office and in 1947 he became deputy county architect in Södermanland, Sweden.

In February 1960, the Volvo magazine Ratten had an article on the Volvo ÖV4 and its adventure on Cypress:

Storebackegatan is a street on Stigberget in Göteborg. This place is mostly known because of the Masthuggskyrkan, but from here, you als get a great view over Göteborg with the Göta Älv.

Masthuggskyrkan is a well-known church in Göteborg, Sweden, which was built in 1914. Its position on a high hill (Masthugget) close to the city and near the Göta älv makes it a striking sight – the church tower is 60 m high in itself. The church represents the national romantic style in Nordic architecture and was designed by Sigfrid Ericson. The church, which has become one of the symbols of Göteborg, is a popular tourist attraction.

The Partihallsförbindelsen (Partihalls connection) is a 1150 meter long viaduct between the E45 and E20 in Göteborg. The connection was built as part of the Göteborg agreement, the infrastructure initiative in Göteborg, whose road traffic, including the Götatunnel, is included.

The road is built in a viaduct over the Västra stambanan, in height with the Ånäsmotet, and joins the E45 with the E20. At Marieholm, a new traffic place has been built, which is planned to be connected to the E6 via Marieholm tunnel under Göta älv, the so-called Marieholms connection. The road has four files, two in each direction. In the north, one file per direction leaves the connection, so that the furthest one in the north is one file per direction. The files that leave the connection will in future be connected to Marieholm Tunnel.

The Partihallsförbindelsen has the temporary road number E20.10. This is planned to change when the Marieholm tunnel is built, but what the road will be heated is not formally decided by the Swedish Transport Administration.

The source is called the Gothenburg Hume for Red Orm.
