KÉO QUÂN – NEW CREATIVE IDEAS AWARD of  HANOI’S PUBLIC DESIGN CONTEST 2022

Inspired by the “Kéo quên lantern”, the façade of the design consists of 2 layers moving in opposite directions, making the layers and the images intertwine. “Kéo quân” depicts the appearance of the troop being in battle. It also conveys the message of the history and country. With this idea,  the motifs on the façade of the work tell the story of the historical event on 10/ 10/ 1954 when the Hanoi army and people entered the Capital. From the outside, the image of the street and the people is placed in the back, standing out in the background is the image of the victorious soldiers marching through the 5 gates of the capital with the national flag fluttering in the wind. The layer with the idea of streets and people is arranged to rotate in the opposite direction to create the visual effects as if the people and the army are hugging each other, and the people welcome the returning soldiers.

In addition,  motifs in the front of the work are inspired by the flexible features of the water, “trùng trùng quân đi như sóng (the troops like the big waves returns Hanoi)” – the verse not only expresses the strength of the army, the bustle and hustle of the army and the people of the capital but also the inspiration of the waves motifs on the work.
