Annual organization in Cannes, France, is the worldwide premier real estate fair, MIPIM (Marché International des Professionnels de l'Immobilier), which hosts more than 20,000 professionals from more than 100 nations. At this international arena, developers, architects, investors, city officials, and visionaries of urban space come to showcase the future of real estate. It’s a fair where visibility literally is opportunity, and getting someone’s attention is the key. Learn more about this top-tier fair at the official MIPIM website.
The Power of Strategically Lit and Animated Models
Static models and computer-generated images can quickly become irrelevant in a densely competitive showground like MIPIM. What will actually command someone’s attention is an illuminated and animated scale model — a real, striking visual presentation of your project that glows, moves, and stimulates the imagination. These kinds of models provide an immersive experience for investors and city officials and make it easy to understand spatial relationships, design elements, and project narratives.
ARI Model is very good at building models that blend light and motion to take the way a project is presented to new heights. From illuminated windows and backlighting façades to turntables, interactive areas, and time-lapse light displays, these kinds of features animate developments. Such multi-sensory stimulation triggers more serious discussion and long-term interest from possible partners.

Technical and Visual Excellence Combined
Each lit and animated model that ARI Model creates is completely bespoke. We utilize LED lighting systems to mimic interior and exterior lighting, night ambiance, or environmental impact. Our animation packages include sliding platforms and revolving sections to light sequences programmed into the system and user-activated areas. It’s not just visually appealing — it’s strategic. It makes your booth a destination, your model a story object, and your project a vision investors can believe in.
Whether it’s illustrating how a building comes alive at night or illustrating the flow of movement in a mixed-use project, these enhancements define architectural value and offer a sensory experience digital signage can’t.
