克利福德塔，英国，Hugh Broughton Architects

Hugh Broughton建筑事务所和英国遗产局为保障约克郡克利福德塔的未来而开展的项目已经完成，并将于2022年4月2日向公众开放。该项目由Hugh Broughton建筑事务所与保护专家Martin Ashley建筑事务所合作设计，包括重要的保护工程以及提高游客体验的建筑改进。

Hugh Broughton Architects and English Heritage’s project to safeguard the future of Clifford’s Tower in York has completed and will open to the public on 2 April 2022. The project, which was designed by Hugh Broughton Architects working with conservation specialists Martin Ashley Architects, includes vital conservation works as well as architectural improvements which enhance the visitor experience.

克利福德塔为征服者威廉在1068年建造的土丘加冕。几个世纪以来，它一直是约克城堡的守卫和主要强点。起初，这里有一座木塔，城堡历史上最臭名昭著的事件发生在1190年，当时约克的犹太人在塔内避难，死得很惨。

Clifford’s Tower crowns the earthwork mound raised by William the Conqueror in 1068. For centuries it was the keep and chief strongpoint of York Castle. At first, there was a timber tower here, where the most notorious event in the history of the castle took place in 1190, when the Jews of York, who had taken refuge in the tower, died in tragic circumstances.

不久之后，石塔建成，被用作国库和皇家财政。17世纪时，一场大火烧毁了塔的内部，建筑变成了一个空壳。后来克利福德塔的土丘被砍掉，并在其周围建造了一个大的挡土墙。1935年，土丘的下坡被重新修建。

The stone tower was built soon afterward and was used as a treasury and royal exchequer. In the 17th century, a fire destroyed the interior of the tower, and the building was reduced to a shell. The mound at Clifford’s Tower was later cut back and a large retaining wall was built around it. In 1935, the lower slopes of the mound were reconstructed.

除了对历史结构的保护工程外，该项目还对塔楼进行了一系列的改进，特别是在塔楼内创建了一个鼓舞人心和设计合理的解释方案。通过广泛的公众咨询过程，设计方案以一个新的木制平台为特色，该平台部分覆盖了废墟，并由四根高耸的木柱支撑。

In addition to conservation works to the historic fabric, the project has made a series of improvements to the tower, with a particular focus on creating an inspiring and sensitively designed interpretation scheme within the tower. Developed through an extensive process of public consultation, the design scheme features a new timber deck that partially covers the ruin and is supported on four soaring timber columns.

该平台包括用于团体活动的露天剧场座位，以及一系列悬挂在其结构上的轻质人行道，这些人行道可以接触到以前未曾见过的一楼特征，并通过恢复两个巴蒂山的通风口，使进入屋顶层的通道增加一倍。小教堂也得到了修复，清理了石块，拆除了难看的木头支架，修复了屋顶并重新铺上了粘土瓦。

The deck includes amphitheater seating for a group activity, with a series of lightweight walkways suspended from its structure which gives access to previously unseen first-floor features and doubles the access to the roof level through the restoration of two bartizan vices. The chapel has also been restored, with stonework cleaned, unsightly timber bracing removed, and the roof repaired and re-clad in clay tiles.

通过改进现有的楼梯，加强了通往塔楼的通道。已经创建了三个休息区，使人们可以在楼梯边上停车，暂停，并坐下来。在Motte的底部，一个新扩大的公共区域包含了解释，容纳了一辆英国遗产品牌的Piaggio tuk-tuk（自动人力车），用于销售门票和旅游指南，并提供了一个与游客接触的地面场所，包括那些无法登塔的游客。

Access to the tower has been enhanced through improvements to the existing stair up the motte. Three resting places have been created, allowing people to pull off to the side of the stair, pause, and sit down. A newly enlarged public area at the base of the motte incorporates interpretation, accommodates an English Heritage-branded Piaggio tuk-tuk (auto-rickshaw) for the sale of tickets and guidebooks, and offers a ground-level place to engage with visitors, including those unable to ascend to the tower.
