    Background on how Muslims define home, work and a third space: One space in the domestic sphere (the family and the home); a second space is the sphere of civic engagement (including school, work and other forms of public participation); and a "Third Space" where individual, sometimes professional, and sometimes transgressive acts are played out: where people let their "real" selves show.

    ...over the last few months, conflicting claims have emerged about how malls fit within Twin Cities society. ("#Itsmymall!" "No, #itsmymall!") The seemingly audacious protest by the #blacklivesmatter movement and subsequent reaction by the Mall of America and the Bloomington prosecutor illuminate the complex relationship that shopping malls have as public and private spaces. Like it or not, they are simultaneously massive private companies and rough, if degraded, facsimiles of Gruen's public sphere.

    I felt obligated to put this here. Very insightful read. In the absence of meaningful gun reform, it isn't hard to imagine public spaces becoming more rigid, enclosed, and surveilled. That's a problem.

    PlaNYC 2030 - a cool future plan for NYC. Of note for my interest is the chapter on Parks and Public Space, but others may find other chapters of interest, especially in terms of how they envision the city 15 years into the future.

    Smartphones "enable" us to stick around longer in public because they're now an extension of our private spaces. (and free WiFi too!)

    This article suggests to me that senior centers need to be re-thought. Seniors want to be in the thick of things even if they are just sitting with friends over luke-warm coffee. Enter the museum's third place...

    Interesting thought piece as we get ready for CAM and the 3rd Spaces session.  Are museums more like the library as 3rd space or the one described at the end of the article?

  • Most Museums Have Trouble Connecting To the Public. Maybe It's Time For Some New Ideas.
  • underprepared for their pending encounter with the visual arts
  • many audience members seem intuitively aware of what is missing: more access to the story explaining how and why a work has arrived at this place for their enjoyment.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • soldiering through the galleries and paying minimal attention to the exhibits prepared expressly for their viewing
  • reanimated by the opportunities to engage in eating, spending, and talking on the phone—activities compatible with a sidewalk stroll.
  • critical message about the socializing function of the city
  • There is scientific data, too, upon which to build an argument for ensuring that we do better by our museum guests.
  • participation in the arts, especially as audience, predicted civic engagement, tolerance, and altruism.”
  • “[T]he space of the art museum is an inherently public or civic space,” wrote Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art, in a recent essay. “Art museums in this context need to be understood as quintessentially urban institutions that play a critical role in defining the intellectual and physical fabric of cities and towns.”

    Gee, LA is still trying to get much of its underground transportation built, while London is looking to re-purpose old, unused tunnels. Among the possible uses imagined for these spaces is a National Fire Brigade Museum.

    I live just a few miles from where the Pop-UP MANGo happened. I can tell you that while the community-participation aspect of this kind of "planning" is terrrific, it undermines overall city planning in terms of space use, traffic mitigation, and access. What's the proper balance?
