Parisian architect（建 筑 師 ）Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China．Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing，the Jinan Grand Theatre and Shanghai．Pudong International Airport．Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China．The worldfamous architect，writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview．
How was it that you went from architecture to writing-and more recently to painting？
I have a desire to create，for continuous renewal．While I can't say that I know everything about
architecture，I no longer have much to prove or discover．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．
Why did you wait so many years to start painting？
It was a kind of need．I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried to
improve this situation by writing．But writing is a very long process-it takes at least a year to write a
book．Painting is faster．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．
What is your project in China right now？
There's a project in the ZhuhaiMacao area．The Chinese engineering and building company
Zhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project，suggesting
that he work with an architect who's already known in China．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．
