S e ni o r Th e s i s Third Place Living Design: Applying Concepts of Social Dynamics to Built Environments

Th e M a r k et a t M a in St re et E AT | R E AD | ART The Market at Main Street identifies physical characteristics of interior social environments that positively promote gathering beh avior and social interaction.

CO N CEPT The deconstructed pinwheel revolved outward on each corner to illustrate a dynamic evolution of growth, interdependence, openness, and energy. Various degrees of unfolding produced various degrees of open or closed interaction.

SCHEM ATIC S K ETCH The revolving doors not only reflected the pinwheel concept, but also allowed flexibility, openness, and adaptability between interior spaces. This allowed the users to change the space to fit a variety of needs.

P R EDESIG N B UB B LE DI AG R A MS The Market at Main Street consisted of a bookstore, gallery, cafe, and shared space. The goal of the design was to allow the spaces to overlap to maximize usability and flexibility of the space.

R ENDER ED F LO O R P LAN & R CP Folding partitions, revolving doors, and windows maximized permeability between spaces. Varying ceiling heights and materials acted as wayfinding tools while providing acoustic properties. The ghosted white circles represented areas where social proxemics were considered in the design. Rendered with Adobe Photoshop.

ENLAR G ED GAL LER Y F LO O R P LAN The gallery featured a moveable ottoman that aimed to allow visitors to comfortably experience the gallery from various perspectives. The revolving doors transformed the private space into an exclusive area or an open extension of the main gallery. The adjustability widened the opportunity for various activities to take place.

ENLAR G ED GAL LER Y R CP Varying ceiling heights and materials highlighted artwork while adding a unique visual element to the space.

Appropriate lighting for artwork and displays was essential for the success of the space. Suspended track systems with adjustable fixtures were incorperated to maximum compatibility for the use of the space.

B UIL DIN G S E CTIO N The bookstore (left) and gallery (right) were designed to be physically separated, however, windows between the space visually connected the two spaces. Permeable interiors that overlap with adjacent spaces aimed to encourage curious onlookers to interact with the place and the people of that place.
