Summary: "Third place ecologies reworks components of the familiar single-family home to promote new levels of connectivity in neighborhoods once resistant to sharing. Individual porches are extended in order to serve multiple units as hyper-porches, garage galleries hydridize car parking to become neighborhood work and maker spaces, and patio mats are used as live-work venues all to revitalize neighborhoods through return of the informal." - back cover.
