Art Macao 2021-Creative City Pavilion

Au Chon Hin

Using Ubongo's puzzle logic, letters that represent creative cities are arranged to connect the blue skies of Macau, Linz, Nanjing, and Wuhan. This illustrates that a city is like a puzzle, with creativity embodying wisdom. Geometric puzzles serve as both an aesthetic language and a metaphor for intelligence—the soul of a city lies in its collage of wisdom, with design as the medium that brings this wisdom to life.
