Looking for answers to this question, Macao architect André Lui travelled to Paris for his studies in heritage conservation 16 years ago and obtained the professional qualification of Architecte du Patrimoine in France. His extensive study and investigation into numerous outstanding conservation projects in France has helped him gain a deep understanding of the French approach to protecting ancient buildings, which has greatly influenced his practice in Macao.
