Abstract

As the commerce and trade port for cultural exchange between China and Portugal, in modern times, Macau was endowed with all-inclusive, abundant and diverse historic features. After the historical architecture in Macau was made world heritage in the year of 2005, there was a new trend for studying Macau architectural culture at home and abroad, many of which were related to the architectural decorative patterns, but less emphasis was laid on the decorative patterns of doors and windows. Under the influence of the concept of “the house is crowned by the door” for Chinese architectural culture, as the important medium between internal space and external information of architecture, the decorative patterns of doors and windows reflect the spiritual symbol and humanistic characteristics of architecture itself in an even better fashion, presenting significant social historic values.
