João Bravo da Costa, Jerome Tsui (in London), and Adalberto Tenreiro (in Macao) have submitted an entry to the concept design competition for the 2010 World Expo Macao pavilion.
The design features an intricate arrangement of compartments intertwined with open-air spaces, all connected by a path of bridges, stairs, ramps, and an elevator. Nicknamed the “Treasure Box”, the design evokes the elaborate and ingenious curio boxes crafted in China since many years to store and carry precious objects.
The competition was organized by the local government of the Special Administrative Region of Macao, one of the regions of China — alongside Hong Kong and Taiwan — that will be represented at the Expo 2010 by their own pavilions next to the Chinese national pavilion.
Congrats man!
Really liked your entry for this competition. Will it come also with the Portuguese “Calçada” ;)?
