Macao Central Library

The new Macau Central Library spans 15,000 square meters with dedicated spaces for children, teenagers, collections, exhibitions, and multifunctional rooms.

Established in 1895, the library stands on the former site of Hotel Estoril, which operated as the first casino resort in Macau from 1962.

The library incorporates a preserved futuristic mural by Italian sculptor Oseo Acconci depicting Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance, in its lobby.

The building features a climate-controlled environment with a lattice facade that filters natural light and guides visitors through interconnected spaces to upper-level reading rooms.

The exterior design resembles an open book at the entrance, with the facade extending from interior bookshelves to create a protective shell structure.
