INSIDE OUT

Architecture is often perceived from the outside—its façade, form, volume, and the way it interacts with its surroundings shape its identity. Yet, it is the interior—the spaces and scales where people live and experience—that transforms a mere structure into true architectural space.

For this year’s Macau Architectural Photography Competition, we invite participants to look beyond and step inside Macau’s built environment. Discover and capture the qualities and rarely-seen beauty of architecture from the inside out.

反轉視角

人們通常從外部視角來感知建築。它的外觀、形式、體積以及它與周圍環境的互動方式塑造了它的建築身份。然而，正是建築的內部，也就是人們使用和體驗的空間與尺度，將一個結構轉變為真正的建築空間。

在今年的《光影構城 – 澳門建築攝影比賽》中，我們邀請參賽者放眼並走進澳門的建築環境，從內到外捕捉建築甚少被了解的品質和美態。
