Crafting a Gateway in California
Updated: Jan 7, 2020
According to their site, Emerson Collective is a social change organization that uses a broad range of tools including philanthropy, impact investing, and policy solutions to create the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Established and led by Laurene Powell Jobs, Emerson Collective is working to renew some of society’s most calcified systems, creating new possibilities for individuals, families, and communities.
The organization asked us to design and implement a gateway fence to act as a landmark for their new Bloomhouse location in east Palo Alto. The space consists of 54 acres of land on the bay that is still being reimagined, but is currently serving as a community meeting and workshop destination.
The gateway, pictured above, took three days to install permanently and is our first parametric fence design. We sped up volunteer participation by harnessing a jig to make fast and accurate work without the slow, continual measurement process of typical builds.

Really interesting take on urban gateways! How do you envision community input shaping future designs? By the way, I love playing Skribbl IO with friends to spark creativity too!
YouCine gives a lot of details about the application for both new and regular users. The information is set up in sections, which makes everything easier to follow. I especially liked the explanation of the features and how the app works on different devices. The website design is simple and friendly, for visitors. Overall YouCine is a platform to find useful information.
That parametric fence design is really clever — using a jig to speed up volunteer builds without sacrificing accuracy is the kind of practical innovation that makes community projects actually sustainable. I love how the gateway marks the space as a landmark while still feeling approachable. Speaking of mind-bending structures, the architectural puzzles in monumentvalley 3 online have a similar way of making you see space differently, even if they're digital rather than physical. It's inspiring to see organizations like Emerson Collective investing in placemaking that brings people together.
