Margate is a town on the Kentish coast with rich heritage and tradition. Through tourism traveling far and wide, the town become deteriorated and neglected. Investment in restoring the town as a whole is currently in progress, but being in an economic downfall investment and time has delayed the re structuring.

 

The project plans to look at social interaction within various parts of the town in allowing one to challenge the norm of their daily life. Being a pop up transformation the device is able to spring up in areas that may look mundane or insufficient.  By manipulating a fishing rod and using its concept to lower from different perspectives allows the device to have some secrecy in who was controlling it. 

 

Identifying how to act in not interfering public movement but challenging it ,came from looking at the situationist movement. Mapping movement of human traffic showed the most suitable areas in which the device could be executed  

 

Retrieving messages from a physical and visual nature gave the user a chance to create a unique souvenir of Margate that was personal to them. Collecting the artifacts within an old tin purchased from the town allowed one to see people’s outlook in what they think of Margate.
