All-time favorite inspirational talk by Aat Vos with great graphics, beautiful images and video. He explains how libraries and other public services can transform themselves into public Third Places and become relevant urban hotspots.

Lecture on The Butterfly Principles

What are the essentials of engaging public Third Places and how do these interact? This lecture makes you think about the physical and non-physical ingredients that make a place tick and how they relate to local heritage, culture, and vibe, along with how a vision steers identity. The Butterfly Principles of Design for Programmability can be your guide for change.
