架构师提供的文本描述。对该网站的访问立即给人留下了负面的印象。

Text description provided by the architects. A visit to the site caused an immediate, negative impression.

这样一个乱七八糟的地方，结果是缺乏规划，随意开发，或者只是品味差和文化缺失。

Such a chaotic place, the result of a lack of planning, casual unauthorized development, or simply bad taste and an absence of culture.

是什么导致了客户对这个网站的兴趣？为什么？

What could have led the Clients to aquire this site? Why?

由于需要将该项目与其邻近的环境分开，因此有必要立即采取行动。

The need to separate the project from its neighbouring context, immediately justified the direction to be taken.

该遗址就在一条快速到达波尔图市中心的主要道路上，但它的特色在于杜罗河的景观，以及它的桥梁和几乎可以看到的海景。

The site, is just off the main road which brings one quickly to the heart of the city of Oporto, but its character is in the landscape of the river Douro, and its bridges and the almost possible view of the sea.

客户对网站的喜爱是显而易见的，因为他们不喜欢网站的直接环境。

The Client’s enjoyment of the site was evident, as was their dislike for its immediate context.

因此，抽象和分离的必要性是显而易见的。

So the necessity for abstraction and separation was evident.

找到这种抽象的形式是我的职责。

It was my role to find the form of that abstraction.

这座房子的项目和建造，它的名字来源于它的位置，就是这样。一个非常强调景观，地形的困难地形和抽象从它的直接背景，寻求形式和建筑内容，会否认的背景，甚至忘记它。

The Project for and the construction of the house, its name being derived from its location, is just that. A great emphasis on the landscape, the terrain’s difficult topography and an abstraction from its immediate context, seeking forms and architectural content that would deny the context, even forget it.

飞机是必要的，以组织生活区，无论是在里面和外面。

Planes were necessary to organize the living areas, both inside and out.

他们被建造，挡土墙，创造了围护和形成的房子。

They were built; retaining walls, which create enclosure and form the house.

墙平行于斜坡，垂直于斜坡，互相帮助，在这些墙之间，创造了空间，生命的空间，光的空间，使生命得以存在。

Walls parallel to the slope and perpendicular to it, helping each other and in between those walls, spaces were created, spaces for life, spaces for light which enables life.

该方案非常分层，提出了不同的内容，不同的经验。在一楼是社交区，细分为家庭，亲戚，朋友和游客享受。在楼上，有三间卧室悬挑着，享受着远处的美景。在这两间客房之间。

The programme, which was very hierarchichal, suggested different contents, different kinds of experience. On the ground floor is the social area, subdivided to be enjoyed by the family, relations, friends and visitors. On the upper floor, there are three bedrooms cantilevered, with a privileged enjoyment of the landscape beyond. In between these, are the two guest rooms.

在体积上，几乎只有卧室的悬臂体。

Volumetrically there is almost only the cantilevered body of the bedrooms.

坐在一堵石墙上，它的悬垂阴影从穿透的夕阳的方向，总是精彩的，总是不同的。

Sitting on a stone clad wall, its overhang shades from the direction of the penetrating setting sun, always wonderful, always different.

与其他地方一样，良好、合理和健康的过程的根本在于客户的质量。这是，而且曾经是最基本的。其余的是专业精神和其他各种职业的协调。

As elsewhere, fundamental to a good, rational and healthy process, was the quality of the Clients. This is, and was, fundamental. The rest is professionalism and the co-ordination of various other professions.
