World Expo Pavilion has long been providing a significant impact in the development of modern architecture. A number of interesting designs are showcased in this competition and it illustrates the current architectural standard of Macau.

We are still delighted to be able to receive a Honor Award in this competition.

Macau New Central Library Competition - Thomas Chan + Ryan Leong







First large Macau architectural competition in years, which attracted 31 design entries. Above is the design by Thomas and myself. We didn't manage to get any award but it is a relatively good experience for doing such an exercise. As two young architects, our only objective is to devote and dedicate our professional knowledge and creativity to the design of the future central library of Macau.

A controversial competition with a heavily arguable result.

Architectural Competition is a demonstration of a mature and civilized city. By looking at this competition, Macau has a great difficility in order to achieve that.
