At IZANA, we have created an Immersive Third Spaces Experience Concept.
"The third space is a concept that refers to a social and cultural space where different identities, cultures, and experiences intersect and interact."
It involves the creation of immersive spaces that are social forward. They are built to encourage interaction and connectedness to alleviate the epidemic of loneliness across the nation. The approach is to create two core immersive types, that allow for different choices of interaction formats and duration, to be approachable to wider demographics. With a focus on the creation of third spaces.
