Cultural organizations incorporating
indoor and outdoor gathering rooms
Libraries, museums, and academic institutions
seek greater visibility and inclusivity,
and they're embracing indoor-outdoor spaces
where people can gather.
At Seattle University's Jim and Janet
Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation,
Mithun incorporated flexible indoor and outdoor
space for members of the community
and of the university. On the campus side of
the building, a courtyard is designed around
boulders and trees for quiet conversations,
whereas the city side includes an interdisciplinary
workshop for collaborative engagement.
" The
third spaces we build in academic
settings are so important to relieve students'
stress, " says Dorothy Faris, a partner and landscape
architect with Mithun in Seattle. " Also,
researchers found that nearly half of students
have spontaneous conversations in third
places at least once a day. Building spaces to
encourage social networks is so necessary. "
Planning these third spaces starts with
evaluating how people move through the area
and how to build infrastructure for weather
protection, places to sit in sun or shade,
lighting, Wi-Fi, and possibly a water element
to mask noise, Faris says.
" You also want to identify spots that are
away from busy areas ... where people can
[nevertheless] be seen, so they feel safe, " she
says. " Landscaping and topography can contribute
to safety, along with feeling relaxed. "
Creative third places in mixed-use
and office developments
When tech companies upgraded break rooms
into game rooms with golf simulators and
added roof decks and karaoke rooms, that
overhaul led to amenity wars in offices and
multifamily buildings, Holzbach says.
" Then coworking spaces evolved and maximized
the third-place idea to incorporate work
instead of just relaxation, " he says.
In new buildings, 30 to 40 percent of office
space is devoted to alternative work areas,
Holzbach says.
" What's new now, especially in offices with
4,500 to 10,000 square feet [420 to 930 sq
m], is that tenants want these shared third
spaces-gathering lounges, lunch lounges
with a pantry, conference rooms and smaller
workspaces-built in from the beginning, " Holzbach
says. " All the tenants on the floor can
Heartline mixed-use
development in Portland,
Oregon: On the ground
floor of the residential
tower, a shared lounge and
kitchen space opens out to
the courtyard and features
a variety of seating areas
to accommodate individual
work, collaboration, social
gatherings, and more.
