This week focused entirely on getting my folie ready for presentation. Feedback from my tutor in week 3 was vey solid and she seemed to really like my concept of an interactive means to experincing Brisbane's flood history. Therefore I have continued to develop my design further starting with the heights of the location to be understand the scale of what will be necessary.

| Port Office Gauge - Edward Street Brisbane |
As the height difference from ground to highest flood point is 4.5m, I have had to re-think my design. With collaboration with my tutor the week prior, we had discussed the idea of creating a spiral staircase rather then the large wall. Due to the height the distance required to elevate someone 4.5m then down again would exceed the 5m length. This has altered the design to create a more vertical design.

The diagram above displays the new method of elevating users. The reason for elevating the user is firstly, to provide the user with a line of sight through the folie to relate the height with surrounding infrastructure. Secondly it requires elevating the user to the height of the highest flood so they can experince just how high the water level was where the are situated.
