- exact: For example, the design pattern A Place to Wait asks that we create comfortable
accommodation and ambient activity whenever someone needs to wait; benches,
cafes, reading rooms, miniature playgrounds, three-reel slot machines (if
we happen to be in the Las Vegas airport). This solves the problem of huddles
of people awkwardly hovering in liminal space; near doorways, taking up sidewalks,
anxiously waiting for delayed flights or dental operations or immigration
investigations without anything to distract them from uncertain fates.
