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.

oh really? I heard the runner-up is working in London right now.
It's a shame that he didn't get the 1st prize. Tell your friend that I love his work, it's beautiful.
