This marked the first architectural projection ever performed on this historic building since its founding in 1750, and we are deeply honored to be part of this moment.

This project illustrated the "Fraternity Award" prize, as part of the "Prix Armées Jeunesse 2025" ceremony organized by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces.
These awards celebrate initiatives led by the Armed Forces in collaboration with civilian partners — such as schools, local governments, or nonprofit associations.

「巴黎軍校-青年與軍隊獎 2025」建築投影設計
由法國國防部主辦，與巴黎高布朗學院（GOBELINS）與 巴黎國立音樂舞蹈學院（CNSMD）合作完成。
我們為巴黎軍校（École Militaire de Paris）的頒獎典禮設計了燈光投影。這所軍校是拿破崙‧波拿巴（Napoléon Bonaparte）曾經就讀的學府。這次投影是自 1750 年該建築落成以來，首次在其歷史立面上進行的建築投影演出，我們深感榮幸能參與其中。
本專案旨在呈現「兄弟獎（Fraternity Award）」的精神，作為 「青年與軍隊獎 2025（Prix Armées Jeunesse 2025）」 頒獎典禮的一部分。該典禮由法國國防部舉辦，表揚軍隊系統與民間組織（如學校、地方政府或協會）合作推動的創新交流與共融計畫。建築投影於頒獎當日在巴黎軍校建築正面展演，並由巴黎高布朗影像學院（GOBELINS）與巴黎國立音樂舞蹈學院（CNSMD）共同合作完成。
01 Style Frame
The theme of this year’s projection was the " Fraternity Award ", which celebrates the spirit of solidarity and mutual support among members of the French military.
Our story follows a soldier who goes missing after an attack. He faces war, floods, forests, and ruins — and is eventually rescued by his comrades who never gave up on him.

To express the emotional tension between loss and reunion, we used narrative pacing, differences in character scale, shifts in color palette, and a carefully designed soundscape to portray both struggle and hope. Though the subject is heavy, we chose a playful and colorful visual style, giving the piece a more approachable and optimistic tone.
本次投影的主題為「兄弟獎」，旨在頌揚法國軍隊中夥伴間的互助精神。我們的故事講述一位士兵遭攻擊後失聯，他歷經戰火、水患、森林與斷垣殘壁等挑戰，最終夥伴們成功營救他。
為了呈現「被尋找與重逢」的情感張力，我們透過角色尺寸的差異、色彩變化、音樂設計來表現困境與希望。儘管主題沉重，我們在視覺上選擇了繽紛且富有童趣的色彩，讓整體氛圍更具可親性與希望感。
