通往伦敦金融城的历史性东大门从罗马时代一直存在到1761年，但该遗址至今仍是伦敦的一个战略要地，位于2012年伦敦高街(High Street 2012)之初，这条街通向奥林匹克公园。旧石器也预示着未来十年将在这个地区发生的变化。

The historic eastern gateway into the City of London existed from Roman times until 1761 but the site remains a strategic position in London today and stands at the beginning of High Street 2012, which leads to the Olympic Park. The Paleys also signals the change that is going to take place in this area over the next decade.

我们的设计灵感来自乔叟的两首梦诗，他在1374年至1386年居住在大门上方的房间时写了这首诗。名人之家和鸟类议会都有梦幻般的神庙，不可能的材料和规模，高耸在不稳定的珍贵建筑上，并伴随着具有城市特色的围墙。

Our design has been inspired by two dream poems by Chaucer, which he wrote while resident in the rooms above the gate from 1374 to 1386. The House of Fame and The Parliament of Fowls both include images of fantastic dream-like temples of impossible materials and scale, elevated on precarious, precious structures and accompanied by walled places with City-like characteristics.

堆上的古物是旧门最上面的房间的抽象，它将与乔叟的高耸的庙宇对话，同时为公共空间提供一个焦点，并突出旧城城墙的范围。

Paleys Upon Pilers is an abstraction of the uppermost room of the old gate and will speak to Chaucer’s elevated temples, while providing a focus for the public space and highlighting the extent of the old City walls.

该结构由木材刺绣组成，将坐在繁忙的阿尔德盖特大街上方的空气中，支撑在柱子上，柱子上装饰着被照亮的手稿上的图像。

The structure consists of a timber embroidery and will sit in the air above the busy Aldgate High Street, supported on pillars decorated with images from the illuminated manuscripts.
