Waiting is transitional point of activity between moments. Our first thoughts of how we wait is in a dull, lightless, lifeless room with uncomfortable seating, or stood up staring at a bright repetitive screen, rigid in order and almost robotic. The same feeling is in the area of Canary Wharf, where everything, from the architecture to the clothing is so new and undisturbed it lacks the spontaneity of true human life. The design for 'The Waiting Room' therefore, is to shake up the usual order and rigidity, and create a space that provokes curiosity, purposefully engaging interaction through sense and illusion. It is to rekindle the lost playful spirit into the population of Canary Wharf.
