紅街市（提督街市）

In order to satisfy local residents’ living standards and future development, Red Market was established in 1936. The original name of the Red Market was Admiral Market since it’s located at Agenda do Almirante Lacerda. It was built in 1934 as a postmodern building designed by Portuguese Julio Alberti Bosto, designed by B. de Sena Fernandes for structural computation, and painted by Wong Lam and Tse Shing; therefore, the building also has an artistic value as a historic building. It has artistic value because it is architectural Art Deco style. The red market building has three floors and is made of red brick. The plan is symmetric on two axes, with a tower in the middle and four additionally at each of the four corners. In order to enhance the strength of the building and extend the vertical perspective of the building, the structural columns are extended from the walls to decorate the structural components. Because the tower in the middle and the towers in the four corners have no practical use, they are considered to be modernist architecture, but due to the emphasis on decoration, they are considered to be art deco architecture. The red market building features four large open windows and a central staircase, providing good ventilation and lighting. Today, it is the only listed market building in the immovable cultural heritage list in Macao, and one of the markets still in use. In the eyes of many Macanese, the red street market is a very special market with many memories and feelings. The standing streets bear witness to the lives of generations of Macanese. For example, families go to the market to buy vegetables during the holidays or go to the nearby iron house to buy eggs and tahini. These seemingly small daily events are deeply imprinted in the hearts of Macao people. Maybe it is no longer a market, but a memory that belongs to Macao people.
為了滿足當地居民的日常生活和未來的發展，澳門政府建立了紅街市大樓。它建於1936年，是由葡萄牙人Julio Alberti Bosto設計的後現代建築，由B. DE Sena Fernandes進行結構計算，並由Wong Lam和Tse Shing繪製。紅街市大樓是一座具有歷史建築的藝術價值的建築。紅街市大樓有三層，由紅磚建成。平面在兩個軸線上對稱，中間有一座塔，四個角各有一座塔。為了增強建築的強度，延伸建築的透視高度，結構柱從牆體延伸出來，裝飾結構構件。因為中間的塔和四角的塔沒有實際用途，被認為是現代主義建築，但由於注重裝飾，同時被認為是裝飾派藝術建築。紅街市大樓的特點是四個開放的大窗戶和一個中央樓梯，提供了良好的通風和照明。如今，它是澳門被評定的不動產中唯一被評定的街市建築，也是唯一仍在運營的街市。在許多澳門人的眼中，紅街市是一個非常特別的街市，有許多回憶和感受。矗立的街道見證了幾代澳門人的生活。例如，一家人在假期間去街市買菜，或去附近的鐵房子買雞蛋和芝麻醬。這些看似微小的日常，深深的烙印在澳門人的心中，也許它不再只是一個街市，而是一個屬於澳門人的回憶。
“Butterfly Method” Analysis：
Red Market is not only a place full of childhood memories for each local resident, it is also one of the most famous landmarks in the area. At first, it was a vegetable market established to facilitate and satisfy the residents' daily life and future development. Gradually, its existence promoted the interaction among local fishermen, and it even evolved into the ritual activities of today's "drunken dragon festival". Therefore, the Red Market has special meanings for them.
紅街市不僅僅是每一個當地居民充滿了兒時回憶的地方，也是這個區域最著名的標誌性建築物之一。起初，它的出現是為了方便和滿足區內居民的日常生活和日後發展而建立的菜市場。漸漸地，因為它的存在促進了當地漁民們的之間互動，甚至逐步演變成為今日的“魚行醉龍節”的祭祀活動。因此，紅街市對於他們來說有著不一樣的意義。
