Dezeen Space: Mat Barnes and Eddie Blake of C.A.N take to Dezeen Platform for the second day of Dezeen Space with their 1:87 scale-model island. Update: watch an interview with the designers on Dezeen Screen.

Styled like a Hornby model railway, the island can be read by a smartphone as a QR code when viewed from above.

Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here.

yeah.. and the explanation on their website is terrible, very subjective… they talk about the massacre in norway but don't really explain why they have created a QR code shaped island…
