From the Third to the Fourth Space: How Design and Immersion Can Rebuild Community

What happens when the spaces that once sustained everyday social life begin to disappear?

This conversation examines the decline of traditional “third places” and explores the emergence of a Fourth Space, where design, technology and immersion are shaped not for connection. Moving across housing, retail, public space and civic infrastructure, the session reflects on how relational and community-driven environments can respond to inequality, privacy and evolving urban life in cities like those of Mexico.
