 ENRICH THE QUEUEING EXPERIENCE
During waiting, people always want to kill the time by waiting in a daze, renewing micro blog … So the thesis proposal will re-define a new way to organize the informal/formal street elements around highly populated buildings in Hong Kong, so that people have richer experiences when queueing without disturbing and disturbed.
WHAT?
Queue often refers to the quantity, such as length, time, and I want to be quick, but quality queue is seeking different queueingexperience and its potential interaction with other activiteis and programs in the high density busy street in Hong Kong. I try to define the quality of queueing experience so that new opportunties will open up for design interference, such as the visible and invisible boundaries,the organization of street flows, the interaction between queque and other programs.
WHY?
Queue has been a universal phenomenon in lots of high density cities, particularly in Hong Kong it has been a way of life. In daily life, people queue for a seat in a restaurant; waiting in long bus line; queueing in front of well know shop even some building entrance with lift… Hongkongers also like to get in line for a few things: a toy that comes with a McDonald’s Happy Meal, a chance to buy an overpriced flat, or a new iPhone. A big queue of people lined up outside Studio A in Tsim Sha Tsui in the hope of buying a new iPhone.

HOW
A.to study queueing properties.
1.Queueing catalogue. Visible queue such as queue for bus. Invisible queue like bank and some popular restaurant chains have instituted automated systems that work with number. Studying different environement in indoor queue and outdoor queue.
2.Queueing activities. Studying what kind of human activities/behaviors during queueing.How to relate queueing activities to the urban activities.
3.Anylize element in queue. Such as boundary, enclosure and the trajectory could be the key elements of queue and it would be a potential part at the same time. B. To find how queueing affect the surrounding space, and the interactive potential between the queue and its surroundings. C. Collecting data and information from research, base on the study of present interactive architecture to improve current queue experience. D. There will be several typical sites in Hong Kong, such as Causeway Bay and TST. it should aim to define a generic street section inculding queueing space at the basis to register to different site locations, adapting the same genetic queueing system to fit different urban context to enrich diversified and specific queue experience.
