QR codes by an Architect

An architect, finding existing QR code generators aesthetically lacking, developed a custom Python application with Claude's help to create personalized QR codes. This tool allowed for unique patterns, colors, and logos, offering greater control than free online services. Further enhancing the design, the architect used Nanobanana for a collage-style aesthetic. To overcome the 1024x1024 resolution limit of AI tools for large-scale printing, a ComfyUI pipeline was created with Claude's assistance to upscale the images by 5x or 10x, achieving desired results for banners and building facades.
Hi everyone. My wife asked for my help creating some QR codes for her business. I’ve always been fascinated by QR codes, but I’ve also always found them hideous; as an architect, aesthetics matter a lot to me. So, I set out to study the anatomy of QR codes and how they work. Claude helped me build a small Python-based desktop application to generate my own QR codes with custom patterns, colors, and logos. I know there are sites that offer this for free, but they didn't give me the level of control I needed. I took things a step further by using Nanobanana to apply a collage-style aesthetic to the QR code. However, AI tools only output 1024x1024 images, which wasn't enough for me—I wanted to print them much larger, like for banners or building facades. To scale them up, Claude helped me create a ComfyUI pipeline to upscale the images pixel-by-pixel by 5x or even 10x. I loved the result.
