Today we dive into space psychology - how the arrangement of spaces impacts on peoples feelings about themselves and others. David provides a masterclass on ripping up the Placemaking textbook and checklist in favour of creating spaces from observation, experimentation and trusting people. David provides countless entertaining stories and social experiments which demonstrate the human emotion side of interaction with the built environment, identifying how you can create better spaces.

"A space does not become a place until it is used for a purpose other than that which the designer intended"
