A social space is any place where people come together and congregate and interact with one another. It can be a physical location or it can be a virtual location, such as a social networking site on the internet. Similarly, it can be a privately owned spot such as a website but also like a bar, restaurant, or shopping mall. However, it can also be a public domain such as a city park or a town square.
My research will focus on public places which have urban art on display in them. This will assure that certain variables are kept constant. The locations will be accessible by virtually anyone, and they will all contain some type of potential conversation piece. I hypothesize that the presence of the art will encourage interaction, and thus, contribute to the location becoming a popular social space.
