Bar Code Building

Category: Exclusive, Funny, Photos, Russian Art |

We had already a thread about strange buildings back from Soviet era.

Today we’ve got another piece of strange architecture, now from modern Russia.

That’s a building made in a form of giant bar code, same bar code we see on all the goods in supermarket.

It seems to be an office building made of modules.

It’s from St. Petersburg, Russia, and was submitted by Jolq, would somebody be able to read the barcode?

      it doesn’t mean anything. It has the wrong check digit [last number should be a 6] and if you change it to ‘6′ it’s unknown.

      Maybe this is the building of Art Lebedev Studio, as the barcode is part of their logo ?

      Hi.
      This building is about 100m from my home :) Funny to see it here. It really took me a time to understand what thouse numbers mean! Nice design, but wrong place for that (grandmos around don’t get it).

      It’s still under counstruction, but as I know it’s gonna be a simple trade center with usual dress shops and etc.

      It would make more sense if the building was white.

      That’s pretty cool. Why are you calling this architecture strange? There is absolutely nothing strange about it?

      So, if I read the code with a barcode reader, I can add the building to my shopping cart?

      The barcode is not a valid UPC or EAN. The middle bars are too thick, there are 11 bars on the left, 10 on the right and they have nothing to do with the 16 digits (in a regular barcode you have 12 bars on each side, not counting the 6 alignment marks, and 12 digits). The digits seem to be just 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 scattered around to make up some nonsense. However, the siding pattern does give you a clear bit stream: 0000101001100100100011100011001000111001001101000011000111110111110001100001011001001110001100100011100110001111001010000

      (Please check, I may have a bit or two wrong.) This might stand for something. Enjoy.

      If you have a barcode reader of THAT size, you can clearly afford it.

      That is so cool that I wanna take off my nuts (cashews that is…did you think it was something else?) and arrange them in random order so that they look like the barcode illustrated above.

      Everyone want to be the rich whether in the real life or in the virtual world. With the money, you can do what you like except that betrayed laws. In world of warcraft, each wow gold farmer want to make 200-300 wow gold per day, but it is different if you don’t have the right guide and methods. There are several ways you can level your up and make lots of wow gold in World of Warcraft: Firstly, pay attention to some variables. You can use this valuable information to get the maximum profits with very little work. Secondly: discover what prices the other sellers set, and then set aion kina quite a high price for your items, which will help you to eliminate competition. Thirdly, find out your AoE specification. After killing off mobs at a faster rate, you can take away the loots as well as sell them for wow gold. Fourthly, utilize wow gold the AH. You can find out the items that are in demand and sell them. Fifthly, remove your rivals. You can kill off the mobs that are higher than in this game, so you can gain a lot from this experience and will be able to find a lot of aion kinah rare and strong items to sell in the auctions.
