Social and Creative Hubs, Third Places, post-COVID DesignAbstract
To support social activities of the post-pandemic, some social and creative hubs in Malaysia have emerged with more positive vibes that may revitalise the community. With these third places revival, there is still a lack of study on what has changed for the design of third places in response to the recent Covid-19 crisis. Therefore, this study aims to examine the design of two social and creative hubs in Kuala Lumpur based on the adaptation of Ray Oldenburg's theory of third places. The research objective is to ascertain the third places' characteristics of the case studies through on-site observation.
