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.
