      Rebar Event

<http://www.emanate.org/>


          October 17th 2008 at 8pm

Landscape remixers Rebar <http://www.rebargroup.org/> come to Materials 
& Applications to discuss their work and rock a special event for us 
all. Rebar are best known for creating the open-source "holiday" 
ParkingDay <http://www.parkingday.org/>. M&A participated in ParkingDay 
in 2007 which many of you came to help build and to hang out at, but to 
us one of their most powerful pieces is there mapping of POPOS 
<http://www.rebargroup.org/projects/commonspace>. The idea of mapping 
privately owned pulic opened spaces is a big component of what we see as 
obvious but underappreciated keys to developing better communities in 
the future. That and other topics will be discussed in the kickoff to 
our fall lecture series "Beyond Appearances." We are still finalizing 
the details but more info can be found at our web site 
<http://www.emanate.org/>.

Our sixth lecture series, Beyond Appearances, will address the growing 
feeling in our society that we need to pay closer attention to the 
events that are shaping these times. Everything designed, built, 
created, used and disused requires an infrastructure and a plan to get 
it from concept to reality. Understanding the origin and trajectories of 
these systems is key to understanding and coping with our future. A 
deeper understanding of what others are doing, both regularly and 
radically, is a step closer to making the world a better place. These 
lectures will take place semi-regularly, but it is best to keep an eye 
out as we have not really discovered if there will be a rhythm to them.

M&A is a 501c3 non-profit organization dependent upon your donations to 
continue its programs.


          Let's Build Something Beautiful!
