Iteration development:
After getting some feedback on my proposals I started to think more conceptually as to why I wanted to cause this disruption. What was the why of my intervention.
I started thinking more about Orewa in regards to hazards and having to be cautious.
Erosion in Orewa is common place as it gets hit quite hard by storms and you often see temporary fences up to protect people from the sheer drop that has now developed. Also by keeping people off the banks it protects them from further erosion by people.
These protective barriers bring up the question of what are we protecting. The environment? The people? What are people prioritising with their safety measures.
This article is an interesting conversation of what different people want to do to help deal with the issue of erosion in Orewa. You can see what people value by what tactic they side with and what they wish to protect.
– in my initial proposal I had drawn a lot of caution tape used to section off the stair way. In my implemented intervention I did a simple strand at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom of the stairs. Enough to signal warning but not aggressive enough to deter people from ducking under it. This gives room for people to move around the tape if they deicide thats the best way forward. This might show that people value you their time more than a shared path way or their physical well being.
Documenting my final intervention process:
Observation notes from 10am-5pm:
- Person walking on beach who was already on beach disregarded the tape
- Old bench Sitter looked for what could be the problem
- Had to double take and then carried on
- Dog walker detour to get down to beach
- Cars turning around to go elsewhere
- Old man ignored it and got help to duck under tape by seperate party
- Wife found another way around
- Mum and kid crawling
- Old mate walked through both ends just coz at 4:23 (white older male)
- Immediately followed by a seperate dog walker who used the stairs to come up
- Didn’t think twice
- Once tape was broken people didn’t seem to think twice about using stairs
- Lady who had detoured earlier came up through the broken tape, checked it out after but still walked through

2nd Spot I observed from 
3rd Spot I observed from 
An elderly couple scaling the rocks next to the stair way.
Presentation ideas:
I wanted to incorporate the tape in my final presentation somehow. I had the idea to connect each page with the tape so that there is the option to string it up somewhere and still be used as caution tape.
Final presentation:
Something that I hadn’t planned but was a happy accident was that the yellow line at the bottom of each page lines up with the line on the top of the next creating a great aesthetic flow across the document. Due to the pages all being connected when you lifted off the first page the yellow line connected the pages as well as the caution tape.
