Gates and Gateways

Brief

We like to parcel up our land, delineate it, and allow or forbid access. And that’s where gates, and their gateways, come in. From the battered farm gates that are hanging off their hinges, to gilded creations that front palaces, gates pepper our world with constant reminders of the boundaries that surround us. For the purposes of remaining on brief, a gate is defined as ‘a hinged barrier used to close an opening in a wall, fence, or hedge’ and a gateway as ‘an opening that can be closed by a gate’.
