https://www.clemson.edu/caac/academics/architecture/lecture-series.html #lecture, school of architecture, architecture, landscape architecture, CAAC,Clemson University’s School of Architecture has announced its 2024 Spring Lecture Series, “The Third Place,” continuing its theme from Fall 2023.
The spring series will feature five distinguished speakers, two of whom will present at the Clemson Design Center in Charleston.
“The Third Place,” refers to spaces for socialization separate from the usual environments of home and work, and it represents a rapidly changing landscape. Traditionally, third places have included churches, community centers, neighborhood bars and coffee shops. However, recently, there has been an increase in the use of non-traditional systems and alternative spaces serving as third places.
This series will examine how the disruption of social, political and economic structure is reframing our society’s relationships with traditional third places. From theoretical proposals and critical practices to historical analysis, The Third Place series will also discuss the intersection of identity, cultural expression and social interaction and the impact gentrification, displacement and creative production have on our communities.
The second guest lecturer for the Spring semester will be Boonserm Premthada.
