High Life Issue #4

品 24 #4 2017 年 1 月 C arlos Marreiros is synonymous with Macau. The man, the architect and the artist are intrinsically built on the experience of being from this diverse city. “Macauwas always an international city, a city of contacts, of different cultures despite being small,” he says. “That stayed with me when I travelled – first to Portugal, then Europe – to study. The notion of globalization was always very clear to me, we had experienced it in Macau from early on.” Marreiros has no discernible age, rather, the word that comes to mind is “cool.” Confident and cool. With an elegant, discretely monogramed shirt of blue-grey and a bold, brown leather sports jacket, the ensemble is completed by perfectly round, mirrored sunglasses. Marreiros has given much to the city. Innovation is perhaps the word that best describes him. From his buildings to his interior designs and even his persona, he isn’t afraid to be boldwithout ever losing his touch of elegance. When asked what specifically Macau contributed to his sense of aesthetics, he has little doubt. “Everyone says – and I feel it too – that mywork, be it in architecture or fine arts, is clearly western in its expression, however there are Portuguese and Chinese influences,” he explains. “The colors … even back in university I would use a pallet of colors that is very different from the one in Portugal, even Europe. My teachers were often pleased with the results, but it came naturally to me. 建 筑师及艺术家马若龙是澳门的代名词。他从在 这座多元化城市的成长经历中汲取了灵感。 “尽管面积狭小，澳门向来是一座国际化城市， 一个不同文化的汇聚和碰撞之地，”他称。“这一特 色伴随着我去往各地学习，先是葡萄牙，后是欧洲。 全球化的概念对我来说一向清晰，我们很早就在澳门 经历过。” 这位绅士的年龄很难辨识，相反，让人首先想到 的字眼是“酷”。自信和酷。他身穿有押花图案的优 雅蓝灰色衬衫和抢眼的棕色皮革运动夹克，整套装束 还配搭了浑圆的镜面太阳镜。 马若龙为这座城市的贡献良多。创新或许是对他 最好的形容。从建筑到室内设计乃至性格，他都大胆 而不失优雅。在被问及澳门对他的审美观念有哪些影 响时，他毫无迟疑。 “每个人都说，并且我自己也感觉到，我的作 品，无论建筑还是美术，在表达方式上明显比较西 化，但可以看到葡萄牙和中国的影响。就色彩而言， 早在大学时期，我就会使用与葡萄牙甚至欧洲不同的 色彩组合。老师对结果常感到满意，但对我来说，这 是自然而然的。 “中国建筑中使用的色彩组合与欧洲建筑毫无关 联。甚至印度也以其绚丽悦目的纱丽对我产生很大影 响。在澳门长大，就会看到所有这些元素。土生葡人 必然会受到国际化的影响。” 这也给予了他对其他文化的感知和了解的渴望。 “我始终认为，建筑必须有民族元素和处所元素。 民族元素和人以及他们的文化印记息息相关。当你为澳 门设计一座建筑物时，就不能采用和欧洲或非洲建筑物 相同的原则。为什么？因为文化现实不同，我们必须理 解和尊重这一点，即使是在一个全球化的世界。
