Research on the Protection of Historical Buildings under the Collision of Sino-Portuguese Cultures—Taking the Zheng Family House in Macau as an Example

Macao's historic buildings represent a unique fusion of Sino-Portuguese architectural cultures, blending Lingnan and Portuguese styles into a distinct heritage. This study identifies the principles for preserving such multicultural structures, focusing on the Zheng Family House as an example. It highlights how Macao's architecture evolved through cultural exchange, creating a diverse and complex decorative style. The research combines comparative analysis of Chinese and Western architectural elements with historical development to derive preservation guidelines. These findings offer insights into maintaining the integrity of multicultural heritage sites, particularly in contexts like UNESCO World Heritage Sites where cultural collision shapes architectural identity.
