Architecture influences the city, and the city is reflected in its architecture. Macau stands as a surprising and enigmatic place where diverse cultures coexist and flourish—a realm of encounters and contradictions, dialogue and obliviousness, where Contrast is ever-present.
In this architecture photography competition, we challenge participants to embark on a journey to rediscover Macau, its buildings and spaces, seeking evidence of Contrast in architecture.
建築影響著城市，而城市反映在建築上。澳門這個城市因著她的多元文化，造就了驚奇與神秘，共存與繁榮。這些是相遇、矛盾、對話、遺忘和對比在我們的建築環境中無所不在。
在本次建築攝影比賽中，我們希望參賽者踏上重新發現澳門及其建築和空間的旅程，尋找城市和建築中「對比」的證據。
