I say the design of the Grand Lisboa is quite original. I haven't seen any similar-looking skyscrapers anywhere else in the world.

Wow...

Very interesting building, anyone with recent updates?

Xinhua News:
Asia's oldest casino resort Hotel Lisboa to be rebuilt

-- Would the "Birdcage" be torn down then?

I think so mate

Shame !! Such an icon, and lights still look good...

On the bright side... will they do Macau's first LV-style explosion demolition !!

Jim856796 · January 6th, 2008, 05:47 PM

They may do an implosion (although the taller hotel tower would be one year short of a full life when that happens in 2009). I don't know how i can implode more than one hotel towers at once. I think the implosion needs to be done in phases.

I may need some information on how the Hotel Lisboa expanded.

LealSenado · January 6th, 2008, 06:51 PM

No demolition. According to the macanese architects Rui Leão and Carlos Marreiros the new project will just make a "facelift" to the building.

Didn't Mr Ho just say to the media there'll be an 'international design competition' ???

Just joking !!! Don't think there'll be an implosion - I personally think site is too small and too crowded (tho looks like Jim's the expert - noticed the 'I'). But if I didn't make the comment then wouldn't have known Jim was an implosion expert !!!
I don't think HK/Macau ever had an explosion (similar - crowded), tho there's been one just across my home, over the border in Shenzhen, China.
However, I'm sure if Lisboa can be imploded, Mr Ho would do it and make money from getting visitors to see it !.

Wow... never thought we have such 'explosive' personalities visiting this Macau section !

There'll be an 'international design competition' but no demolition in mind of Uncle Stanley.

sfgadv02 · January 23rd, 2008, 12:35 AM

Weren't they already doing facelift before?

I think it is one of the ugliest and ill-proportioned monstruosities ever to grace the Macau landscape...
