Abstract
This thesis looks into the architectural experience of waiting, in order to understand the fundamental, architectural problems of waiting space. It consists of two processes - research and design - that intertwine with and responds to each other. The research is an analysis of waiting through philosophy and architectural projects. The design project in the end responds to the theoretical concerns explored in the research part, while actively provoking new ideas of space in transitioning areas, by employing, transfiguring and assembling different modes of waiting spaces from case studies to a specific site.
