"There must be a way to combine the high rise and high-density environment with nature. Maybe we can ..." — Ma Yansong

I actually feel like a very traditional architect.

If you look at ancient Chinese paintings, you see mountains, but they are not real mountains; it is something the artists imagined.

I'm trying to express nature in big cities.

I don't like to talk about sustainability, because sometimes I see green buildings that don't appear any different from those in the past.
