当我想起一座城市时，我的思绪依然萦绕在那些我曾拜访过的人和物上，我猛然认识到，也许每一个曾到访过的地方都留下了我的若干记忆碎片，像指路明灯般让我对回忆有迹可循。

Per Erik Bjornsen专访

Erik：Italy, rich in history, finds buildings and roads built hundreds or a thousand and more years ago and still used, is a continuous daily discovery.  Impossible not to notice some particular glimpse or discover a new detail just walking, but you have to have the eyes to know how to grasp and only those who have cultivated passion for the arts, observes and learns.  So I think that although there is a real attention to the beautiful by the Italians, not all are endowed with the ability to interpret spaces, even if architects.

译文：意大利有很多数百年或数千年历史的建筑与街道仍然在使用，在日常生活中就能不断地发现这种丰富的细节。行走其中不可能对其视而不见，但只有那些对艺术充满热情、培养了对艺术的观察和学习能力的人才能欣赏其中的美妙之处，所以我认为即使意大利人对美抱有热忱，但并非所有人天生就拥有诠释空间的能力，即便他是建筑师。

Erik：There is no specific reason, after having visited it the first time I came back to establish myself.  I am fascinated by the culture and richness of the historical heritage, the customs and the food, therefore it seemed to me the ideal and most natural place to live in.

译文：没有什么具体的原因，我第一次来中国后，就打算在这里发展。我对这里的文化着迷，还有丰富的历史遗产、风俗和食物，在我看来，这里是最理想、最自然的居住场所。

Erik：I have worked for some and known many of the Masters of Architecture. Of some of them I was amazed by the mental lucidity, clarity of reasoning and arguments, for some I felt admiration for the humility with which they were proposing regardless of their greatness and knowledge. As well as others with arrogant behavior and the presumption demonstrated, I have been negatively impressed, not everyone understands the importance of simplicity.

译文：我曾为一些建筑大师工作过，也认识许多建筑大师。有些人我惊叹于他们清晰的洞察力、论证和辩论的能力；有些人不管多么伟大、知识渊博，我钦佩于他们提议时的谦逊有礼，至于有些傲慢自大的人给我留下了负面印象，并不是所有人都懂得真诚的道理的。

Erik：The city should always maintain human aspects, I intend to relate to man and contribute to generate reactions and relationships with the intertwining of functions and stimulating places, even admitting and justing the growth and changes of urban fabric, necessary sometimes.  The city in its simple complexity is made up of places where you can lose with your mind, walking the streets and alleys in its multitude of distractions.

译文：城市建设我主张以人为本，与人建立联系，并通过功能和刺激场所的相互交织来产生反应和联系。纵横交错的街道小巷会让你沉迷其中，城市就是如此，简单而复杂。

Erik：The complexity, there are many cities that I visited, traveled, and lived, all different and in each of them something struck me and I carry with me.  It's hard to say which is the one I care about most, perhaps Genoa, my hometown, the one I know best and that over the centuries, and for me decades, has remained superb to dominate the scene. I lived it in the complexity of the urban fabric of the old town that counts a huge maze of animated alleys as in a CASBA from thousands of activities and smells of all kinds.  The smell is a very strong memory receptor.

译文：很难说清楚我最喜欢的城市是哪一个，我拜访旅游过非常多的城市，有些还居住过，每一个都有令人难忘的地方。非要说一个就是我的故乡热那亚，几十年来对我产生了非常大的影响，我依然记得那里如迷宫一般的道路、鲜活的生命力和独属于那里的味道，让我记忆犹新。

Erik：The city must grow naturally while keeping track of its past, with a focus on relationships avoiding to erase those aspects that have led it in history, respecting them. Cities grew quickly, with speculations that quickly yielded to profit their own history, creating fences with residences, deleting relationships and places of memory.

译文：一个城市必然是延续它之前的轨迹自然生长的，城市发展迅速，各种以利益最大化的投机行为不断涌现，与住宅之间建立围墙，删除历史痕迹及一些值得纪念的场所，不要抹除历史上的印记，应该尊重并关注这方面。
