In the early middle ages, Kings of Cornwall feasted lavishly with their subjects

在中世紀早期，康沃爾的國王們對他們的臣民大肆宴請

There was a medieval castle here; this is the place where according to stories King Arthur was conceived.

這裡有一座中世紀的城堡，根據故事，亞瑟王就是在這裡孕育的。

And where the fated love affair of Tristan and Isolde all took place.

而崔斯坦和伊索德的宿命愛情也都發生在這裡。

Historically Tintagel would have looked completely different to how it does now.

歷史上的丁塔格爾與現在的樣子完全不同。

There is a natural chasm running through the middle of the site.

場地中間有一道天然的鴻溝貫穿。

Those two halves would have been joined by a natural land bridge

這兩部分應該是由一座天然的陸橋連接起來的。

In the 15th or 16th century, the land bridge collapsed taking the central part of the castle with it.

在15或16世紀，陸橋倒塌，帶走了城堡的中心部分。

And now it almost looks as if there are two castles facing one another.

而現在看來，幾乎是兩座城堡對峙。

Access to the site is currently very challenging, with 148 steps from one side to the other.

目前，進入該場地非常困難，從一側到另一側有148級臺階。

So our solution is a new footbridge at high level, recreating the historic link from the mainland to the island.

所以我們的解決方案是在高處新建一座人行天橋，重現大陸與島嶼的歷史聯繫。

The concept is very simple, two cantilevers that reach out from each side and touch almost, but not quite, in the middle.

概念非常簡單，兩個懸臂從兩邊伸出，幾乎在中間接觸，但不完全接觸。

The highlight of the crossing is obviously in the centre of the bridge

橋面的亮點顯然是在橋的中心位置

the narrow gap represents the transition between the island and the mainland

鴻溝

the present and the past, reality and legend

古今中外，虛實相間

all the things that make Tintagel such a wonderful and compelling place.

所有的事情，使丁塔格爾這樣一個美妙和引人注目的地方。

Achieving a sense of harmony is one of the primary aims of the project

實現和諧感是本項目的主要目標之一。

we want it to be both timeless but also of its time.

我們希望它既是永恆的，也是時代的。

The main access route is via the historic gates in the inner walls.

主要通道是通過內城牆的歷史大門。

At this point the bridge will reveal itself and open up dramatic views of the old castle.

這時，橋會顯露出來，打開古堡的戲劇性景觀。

The materials for the bridge are simple, durable and appropriate for the context of the site.

橋的材料簡單、耐用，適合現場的環境。

The bridge will be formed of stainless steel and carbon steel.

該橋將由不鏽鋼和碳鋼組成。

The bars beneath the deck are extremely fine and delicate and from a distance will disappear, highlighting the main arch structure.

甲板下的條形結構極為精細、精緻，遠看會消失，突出主拱結構。

People come to Tintagel for lots of different reasons,

人們來丁塔格爾有很多不同的原因。

maybe it's the buildings that fascinates them,

maybe it's the medieval castle that fascinates them
