Abstract

Macao is a world-renowned Asian city with multicultural integration, and it is also the only city in China that is dominated by the exchange model between China and the West. Architectural culture is the historical heritage of a city, and the architectural culture of the Historic Centre of Macao has been influenced by both Chinese and Western cultures, forming a unique and diversified architectural form and decorative style. Starting from the development and evolution of Macao's architecture, this study combines the differences between Chinese and Western architectural cultures, especially the integration of Lingnan architectural culture and Portuguese architectural culture in Macao's architecture, and summarizes the principles for the preservation of Macao's historic buildings.

Keywords
