Building on Oldenburg's (1999) third place theory; this thesis studies three distinctly different cafés in Kraków, Poland to understand how how the interplay between social attributes and dynamics (e.g., interactions and behaviours) and physical design (e.g., café layout, seating and amenities) collectively contribute to a sense of a third place through a non-representationalist lens and ethnomethodological approach.
