It is a rare pleasure to run into a design project that stuns in its intelligent simplicity.

这是一种难得的乐趣，遇到一个设计项目，它的智能简单令人震惊。

When the designers have had the wisdom, courage and tenacity to leave out everything that isn’t essential, everything that doesn’t belong.

当设计师们有智慧、勇气和毅力把不重要的、不属于自己的东西都抛诸脑后。

We crave this clarity and simplicity more today than ever. With the ever-increasing array of technology and tools everything can be made more complicated – even if the apparent intention is to make it simpler, clearer, easier or more convenient.

今天，我们比以往任何时候都更渴望这种清晰和简单。随着技术和工具的不断增加，一切都可以变得更加复杂-即使明显的意图是使它变得更简单、更清晰、更容易或更方便。

And complicated is always easier than simple. It is so much easier and so tempting to just add one more thing. But by doing so, we confuse and inconvenience our audience and muddle our message, no matter what our medium.

复杂总是比简单容易。再多加一件东西就更容易了，也很诱人。但这样做，我们会混淆和不便我们的观众和混淆我们的信息，无论我们的媒介。

Architects Henrique Marques and Rui Dinis of Parades, Portugal-based spaceworkers® achieved the elusive stunningly elegant simplicity with their work for the Damião de Góis Museum (Museu Damião de Góis e das Vítimas da Inquisição) in Alenquer, Portugal.

葡萄牙游行的建筑师Henrique Marques和Rui Dinis在葡萄牙Alenquer为Dami o de Góis博物馆(Museu Dami o de Góis e das Vítimas da Inquisi o)工作，实现了难以捉摸的优雅简洁。

The museum is housed in the restored Church of our Lady of the Valley. The architects decided to give the beautifully aged brick walls their due prominence and kept the exhibit panels away from them by creating a simple tunnel with a series of black arches.

博物馆坐落在修复过的山谷夫人教堂。建筑师们决定让这些年久失修的砖墙显得格外显赫，并通过建造一条带有一系列黑色拱门的简单隧道，使展板远离它们。

The sleek, matte black arches contrast with the surrounding surfaces without appearing glaringly modern or intrusive.

圆滑的，光洁的黑色拱门与周围的表面形成鲜明的对比，没有显眼的现代感或侵扰性。

The arches seem to imply a route or a passage and they also have the feel of a protective canopy or container. The visitor never feels trapped in or constricted as daylight filters in through the openings between the panels.

拱门似乎意味着一条路线或一条通道，它们也有保护伞或容器的感觉。访客从来不觉得被困在或收缩作为日光过滤器，通过之间的面板之间的开口。

The new museum is dedicated to the 16th century life in Alenquer, to the Jewish community and the Inquisition, and specifically to the life and work of the Renaissance humanist and historian Damião de Góis who was born there.

新博物馆致力于16世纪在阿伦克尔的生活、犹太人社区和宗教裁判所，特别是文艺复兴时期人文主义和历史学家达米奥·德·戈伊斯的生活和工作。

In addition to restoring and protecting the heritage of the area, the museum aims to increase tourism in the area especially from countries where de Góis travelled, including Belgium, Holland, France and Germany. Tuija Seipell.

除了恢复和保护该地区的遗产外，博物馆还旨在增加该地区的旅游业，特别是来自比利时、荷兰、法国和德国等旅游国家的旅游业。托伊亚·塞佩尔。
