City Repair Project, A Street Corner Revolution
Slide Show & Talk with Mark Lakeman
Thur, Oct 4, 7:45pm, 2007
Santa Barbara Public Library, Faulkner Gallery
Donation $5
Join visionary architect Mark Lakeman as he inspires and guides the grid
structure of a typical American city into a vital social commons with
Portland's City Repair Project (
www.cityrepair.org),
with a lecture and slide show on Thursday, October 4th, at
7:45pm.
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-commodification 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 the city 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.
The lecture and slide show take place on Thurs, October 4, at 7:45pm for
a donation of $5, no reservations are needed. It will be held
at the Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery, 40 E. Anapamu
Street, Santa Barbara, CA. For more information call (805)
962-2571, or email margie@sbpermaculture.org. The SBCC Center for
Sustainability and the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network sponsor the
event.
