六座已毁英国城堡的复兴
Watch 6 Ruined British Castles Come Back to Life
由专筑网李韧，王帅编译
英国拥有许多古老的城堡，这些建筑曾经是当地的核心，但是许多精致的城堡、教堂后来都已化作废墟，这些废墟自身也具有魔幻与神秘色彩，但是对于它们的研究仍然具有实际意义。
因此，Onward和NoeMam工作室通过数字策略，重新建造了位于英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士、北爱尔兰的6座城堡。一系列的作品让人们能够重新看到这些城堡的昔日风采，并且通过展示曾经国王与王后的生活场地来表达曾经辉煌的历史感受。
在本文中，小编为大家整理了一些来源于Onward的项目描述。
The landscape of the United Kingdom is littered with historic castles reaching back centuries. Once proud structures commanding the surrounding countryside, many stately houses, castles, and churches have since collapsed into ruin. While the ruins evoke a sense of magic and curiosity in their own right, a study into how these castles looked in their heyday is a worthy venture.
With this in mind, Onward and NoeMam Studios have joined forces to digitally reconstruct six ruined castles across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The series of gifs sees the castles fluidly re-emerge from the landscape, retelling the sense of place by showing “the true splendor enjoyed and defended by yesteryear’s barons, queens, and kings.
Below, we have laid out the series, with an edited description from Onward.
Dunluce城堡/北爱尔兰
来自Onward的描述：Dunluce城堡有着戏剧性的历史，这座城堡建造于1500年，而在1639年便不再使用。当Earl of Antrim二世的家庭正等待着晚餐时，城堡的厨房员工已经坠崖。
Dunluce Castle, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland
Onward: Dunluce has one of the most dramatic histories of any UK castle. Built around 1500, it was abandoned as early as 1639. The castle’s kitchen – and kitchen staff – had collapsed over the cliff edge and into the sea as the 2nd Earl of Antrim’s family sat waiting for their dinner.
Dunstanburgh城堡/英格兰
来自Onward的描述：Edward国王二世的强大男爵Earl Thomas of Lancaster建造了这座城堡，以此来彰显两人之间的强大实力，在这位伯爵被捕之前，他都生活在这座城堡。
Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland, England
Onward: King Edward II’s most powerful baron, Earl Thomas of Lancaster, built this enormous castle as a show of might when relations soured between the two men. However, the earl was captured and executed before he could enjoy his epic crib.
Bothwell城堡/苏格兰
来自Onward的描述：就建筑而言，Bothwell城堡以其圆柱形空间而闻名，但后来也被一系列的围攻所摧毁。人们可以在万圣节来此参观，悼念一下Bonnie Jean，这位贵族女性在与爱人私奔的途中溺水而亡。
Bothwell Castle, South Lanarkshire, Scotland
Onward: Architecturally, Bothwell is notable for its “cylindrical donjon” (a fortified refuge for the castle’s inhabitants), which was ruined in a series of sieges. Visit on Halloween and you may encounter the ghost of Bonnie Jean, a noblewoman who drowned crossing the River Clyde to elope with her lover.
Goodrich城堡/英格兰
来自Onward的描述：Goodrich城堡始建于1102年，后来又进行了加固，当时被命名为“Godric Mappestone”。在1642年的战争期间，这座城堡严重受损。Cromwell的军队对其进行了狂轰滥炸，这些武器也是专门为其而建造。
Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, England
Onward: Goodrich was begun in 1102, and strengthened later that century by the fantastically named Godric Mappestone (from whom the castle probably took its name). It wasn’t until the Civil Wars of 1642-6 that the stronghold would sustain serious damage. Cromwell’s army pelted it with 200-pound balls from Roaring Meg, a cannon built specifically for the purpose.
Caerlaverock城堡/苏格兰
来自Onward的描述：这座位于英国的一座三角形城堡，同时有着三段历史，这座建筑始建于11世纪80年代，在14世纪被部分拆除，这样能够防止它为英国人所占领。在重建之后，1570年，这座城堡在一次围攻中又被破坏，后来又经历了重建，最后一次的损毁是源于长达13个星期的围攻，后人们也是因此而得知了这座建筑。
Caerlaverock Castle, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
Onward: The UK’s only triangular castle has a triple history: built in the 1280s, it was partially dismantled in the 14th century on the word of Sir Robert Bruce, to prevent it falling into English hands. Once rebuilt, it was again taken apart after being besieged by the Earl of Sussex in 1570. Again rebuilt, a thirteen-week siege during the Bishops War resulted in one last dismantlement; and that is how the castle is to be found today.
Kidwelly城堡/威尔士
来自Onward的描述：Kidwelly城堡主要为木结构，建造于大约1106年。在14世纪，工人们又为这座建筑增加了一些石头防御措施，这也使得其承受了5个月的Owain Glyn Dwr叛乱。
Kidwelly Castle, Dyfed, Wales
Onward: Kidwelly was initially built as a wooden structure as the Normans entered southwest Wales, around 1106. Major stone fortification was added in the final decade of the 1300s, just in time to withstand a five-month siege at the outbreak of the Owain Glyn Dwr rebellion.
