This paper summarizes the use of QR codes in everyday architecture and urban environments. Moreover it examines the aesthetic value of these patterns for architectural use and introduces a project that adopts these codes for a spatial orientation and information system. The project combines the artistic and architectural use of QR codes, establishes connections between virtual and real space and uses CAAD/CAM methods to produce QR codes with a sense of beauty. Is it possible to use QR codes as an offline and online information system and improve with it the inherent information of places in a building? Could we also insert architectural beauty in these codes?
