The Opera Quarter aims to become a 24/7 location, where people can both live and work. There will be office buildings, apartments, museums, parks, restaurants, shops, kindergartens, a new school, an underground parking system, and little car traffic. “The Barcode” is located behind the Opera Quarter and consists of a row of high-rise buildings, constructed by different European architectural firms. Although the buildings have been designed separately, they make a very interesting display from afar. A barcode, hence the name.
