Organized by the Macao Museum of Art (MAM) under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym), and co-organized by the Architects Association of Macau, the “17th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia – Exhibits from Macao, China” was opened to the public on 22 May in Venice, presenting the relationship between architecture, land reclamations, collective memory and urban life from multiple perspectives, offering visitors from different parts of the world a picture of the cross-border life in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and exploring the infinite possibilities of “Connectivities”.
This year marks the fourth year of organizing Macao architects to participate in the world-leading “International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia” as representatives of “Macao, China”, IC once again strives to present projects by Macao architects in the international arena. The exhibition team comprises the curator, Carlos Marreiros, and young local architects Ho Ting Fong, Che Chi Hong, Lao Man Si and Chan Ka Tat. In response to the theme of the Biennale “How will we live together?”, the exhibition team showcases four works of different styles under the theme “Connectivities: Living beyond the boundaries – Macao and the Greater Bay Area”, in a bid to give an overview of the future urban landscape of Macao and to reflect on the symbiosis and challenges arising from the in-depth integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
