Studio was commissioned to present Macau’s
fascinating fusion of Chinese and Portuguese cultures
at the 1998 World Expo in Lisbon. The design focused
on a 80% scale replica façade of the 17th
century baroque Sao Paulo church – combined
with cutting edge technology in the interior to
create a walkthrough quadroscope and culminating
in a six-minute finale film show projected onto
a wrap around screen. The Pavilion also boasted
an entire Macau street and a large Chinese garden
complete with 36 live dancers, jugglers and gymnasts.
Interactive models linked to a dramatic audio visual
show in the round.
