#Third Places Born from a sociological approach to our territories, the concept of “Tiers Lieux” is developing in France and in the world at high speed. They are intended to be physical or virtual spaces of encounters between people and various skills that do not necessarily have to cross each other. For us, the third place is a polymorphic modular space offering a physical and/or symbolic place to a community of users. It is polymorphic because it can take various forms depending on the needs of a territory and user communities. In this sense, therefore, there is no typical third place. It is also modular because, like a camembert by Trivial Pursuit, it can be composed of a set of modules, each of which has a clear repository (e.g. fablabs, hackerspaces, coworking spaces, medialabs, GULLs,...). Neither private nor public, they make up a hybrid solution between personal and open space, home and work, conviviality and concentration. Third-places bring together a number of conditions allowing informal meetings and fostering creativity resulting from social interactions, notably through openness, flexibility, sustainability, friendliness and accessibility. Casual friends, residents of a neighbourhood, professionals in a sector, can meet there and make it the crossroads of their community. Among regular users, conversation is the center of activities and mood is relaxed. Informal and familiar encounters in these places do not necessarily have to be planned between the individuals who meet and meet there. Third places can be seen as so-called “passing places” that attribute a new meaning to space and culture through the communities that form and gather, networks that weave and grow around the uses that are made of it. In this context, the “coffee of the corner”, the connected bar, the artist squat or the cultural center as public spaces serving as an informal meeting point can become third places according to the use made by the individuals who animate, occupy and visit them. More than just a spatial feature, third places are largely the product of human relationships, creative interactions, and modes of social and professional organisation that dominate contemporary societies. Each “third place” has its specificity, its operation, its mode of financing, but all promote creativity, initiative and sharing.
