INTRO
Intense and complex, Macau is the most densely populated territory in the world, a vibrant and ever-changing city with a unique history of cultural exchange. Glossy casino developments of recent years juxtapose with a compact and layered fabric, where scattered idiosyncratic buildings tell a history of almost 500 years of cohabitation between East and West. Open House Macau is committed to uncover the untold architectural history of Macau from its cluttered urban landscape, by opening the doors of great architecture examples to its citizens, welcoming them to talk about, think about and celebrate their city, while experiencing first-hand how good quality design may positively influence their daily lives.

OHM is organized by CURB – Center for Architecture and Urbanism, a non-profit organization established in Macau to promote research, education, production and dissemination of knowledge in the fields of Architecture, Urbanism, Design and Urban Culture.

OPEN HOUSE WORLWIDE
“One of the great values of Open House is that it allows the building owners, volunteers and all who participate to make it their own, forging a commitment between all involved. In this sense, Open House provides an incredible opportunity for all of us to say something about our own city, now and into the future”. I look forward to Open House Macau joining our network and beginning an international conversation as well as a local one” Victoria Thornton, OBE, Founder Open House Worldwide
