With the development of internet and the robust growth of e-book, it had been expected that the growth of offline bookstores will inevitably slow down. However, since 2014, the number of domestic offline bookstores has increased again. The new bookstores are attempting to make various spatial changes. Some are combined with consumption spaces like cafes and restaurants by reducing space for displaying books and others are entering a department store, a shopping mall, a hotel or an office building. Now the offline bookstore seems to expand its role from a space for selling books to a cultural space that gathers people to spend their time with new experiences. This study analyzes the phenomenon with the concept of Ray Oldenburg's "the Third Place." The third place, an everyday place of public life where social interaction, enjoyment and rest take place besides home and work, enriches the lives of individuals and also gives a city the vitality and identity. First, a clarified concept and characteristics of the third place by understanding Oldenburg's sociological dimension and the spatial dimension of Henri Lefevre and John Urry, and the rate of occurrence of human activities were analyzed as a way of evaluating cultural public place. Then, based on the functional and spatial changes, domestic offline bookstores were classified into three types according to the method of their spatial operations. Lastly, spatial characteristics and use behaviors of Daikanyama Tsutaya bookstore in Japan, which is considered as a reference of domestic bookstores, were analyzed in depth to understand the cultural and public role and the new definition of bookstores. The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics and effects of bookstores as a comfortable everyday space which enhances the vitality of cities, and to establish the foundation for the spatial direction of the third place in an urban condition. |
