Third Places are those that come after our dwellings and places of work. There used to be Viennese coffee-houses, Italian piazzas, and corner shops; now we have the new marketing places in business, such as flagship stores. Apart from serving consumption purposes, Third Places also recharge us with emotion. It was in this way that shops became sites to see and museums became places for going out. The design of these places adheres to a framework which is characteristic of all experience worlds. (Christian Mikunda)
