Macau - Urban Refreshing of Sidakou Area Academic Work at Huaqiao University 2011 Sponsored by Macau Culture Affairs Bureau Tutor: Yuan Long

As the most density city of the world, Macau’s city developing history is kind of a self-organization development without little up-bottom planning.

This kind of urban characteristic on one hand make Macau a amazing city with such a city energy. On the other hand, without any design some areas which has much more urban vitalization potential are in a chaos level currently.

Our site, Sidakou, contains multiple urban elements such as a small plaza, some historical architectures and the appropinquity to the city bay. However, whitout any necessary organization. such a potential area now is quite chaotic and disorder for living. Making it a cold zone of traveling of Macau.

Using a ‘acupuncture therapy’ we do some surgery in this area to organize the positive elements such as plaza, city bay and small parks into a contiunous experience. Thus, this area is refreshed into a active zone to attract people coming in.
