Monumental Mapping, a projection that transforms architecture
Monumental mapping (or architectural projection) makes it possible to project images onto complex volumes using the surface as a narrative medium. Light follows shapes, transforms or explodes them, offering a stunning and memorable visual experience.

What is monumental mapping?
It is a visual projection technique that uses the contours of a building or an object as a canvas, to project perfectly aligned animations. Mapping makes it possible to broadcast visuals, plays with perspective, depth, depth, textures and rhythm to create illusions of movement, transformation or demolition.
Also called architectural projection, or sound and light, video mapping makes it possible to transform fixed structures into animated display surfaces.
By modeling the volumes of the building and adapting the projections using specialized software, we can create visual illusions that seem to defy reality. This process is often used in digital art festivals, the night shows Or the immersive shows.
The addition of a synchronized sound design and a light show reinforces immersion, transforming the visual work into complete audiovisual experience.
