Lecture on Your Tube (1 of 14):
Now a national movement, City Repair is about cities, towns, grids and the intersections where our lives can converge. Multidisciplinary, City Repair combines architecture, urban planning, anthropology, community development, public art, permaculture and ecological design in projects that transform public space. Formed in 1996, City Repair was conceived as an "anti-virus" to combat isolation and over-commoditization of conventionally designed cities, by literally inserting villages into cities.
Trained as an architect, Mark Lakeman is a founding member of the City Repair Project, and the creative director of the ecological design firm Communitecture. Each spring he coordinates the Village Building Convergence, an annual event sponsored by thecity of Portland that brings architects, planners, and artists together for ten days of concentrated work with neighborhood residents and volunteers. He has traveled extensively in southern Mexico, where his inspiration for community living came from living with traditional Mayan peoples.
