How was it that you went from architecture to writing—and more recently to painting?
您是如何从建筑转向写作，又在近期转向绘画的呢？
I have a desire to create, for continuous renewal.
我渴望创作，以求不断自我更新。
While I can’t say that I know everything about architecture, I no longer have much to prove or discover.
虽然不敢说对建筑无所不知，但我不再需要证明什么或探索什么了。
For me, painting is just as important, creatively, but it’s something you do alone in your workshop, with a piece of paper and a pot of ink—it’s totally refreshing.
对我而言，绘画在创造性上同样重要，但它是在画室里独自完成的事，只需一张纸、一壶墨——这令人耳目一新。
Why did you wait so many years to start painting?
为什么过了这么多年才开始画画？
It was a kind of need.
这是一种内在的需求。
I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried to improve this situation by writing.
我在自己的专业领域感到倦怠，想尝试新事物，起初试图通过写作来改变这种状态。
But writing is a very long process—it takes at least a year to write a book.
但写作是一个漫长的过程——写一本书至少需要一年时间。
Painting is faster.
而绘画则快得多。
Being alone with yourself during the day, in the light, and then putting yourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no one has asked—it’s a kind of freedom you seldom have in life.
白天独处，沐浴在阳光下，然后让自己去创作一些全然未知、也无人要求的东西——这是生活中难得的一种自由。
What is your project in China right now?

There’s a project in the Zhuhai-Macao area.

He asked me if I’d be willing to do some of the work.

We’ll present the project some time before December; the planned completion date is in 2019.
