After meeting the group, we decided our folie would be an interactive installation and were thinking of our folie being three or four components which come together to create a component. Our initial thoughts were that our folie could join together by being pushed along rails similar to train tracks. We later decided that people would be less likely to stub their toes if our wheel and track system was recessed into the ground. I completed some research at the beginning of this blog and discovered that the wharf used to be used by a shipping company as well as hosting some air raid shelters. I looked into some existing wheel and track systems for examples to help us by giving us ideas and showing us how to demonstrate the system we used. I also had a look and found a good example of a shape for our components. I then emailed this onto my group members.

Fig 4
Fig 1,3 and 4 all demonstrate the same wheel and track system but as an explosion, section and 3D components. I think this is a very simple system which it would be wise to use. Also we could use these pictures to help us with how we should draw up our system. We could use this system and have it recessed into the ground. I also thought that figure 2 was a good example and idea for our separate components which come together. Separately they could be used as benches with shelter, and when pushed together they could create a meeting space for a number of people, as well as providing a lot more shelter.
