City Repair Project: A Street Corner Revolution

Slide Show & Talk with Mark Lakeman
Monday, May 2, 6:30 - 8:30pm 2011
Goleta  Public Library
Donation $10- $20 Sliding Scale

	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 
(<http://www.cityrepair.org/> www.cityrepair.org ), with a lecture 
and slide show on Monday, May 2, from 6:30-8:30pm at the Goleta 
Public Library.

	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.


	Mark Lakeman is an architect and creative director of the 
ecological design firm Communitecture.  A founding member of the City 
Repair Project, Lakeman helps coordinate the hugely popular Village 
Building Convergence, sponsored annually by the city of Portland, 
that brings architects, planners, and artists together for ten days 
of concentrated work with neighborhood residents and volunteers. 
Lakeman has traveled extensively in southern Mexico where his 
inspiration for community living came from living with traditional 
Maya peoples.

	The lecture and slide show take place on Monday, May 2, at 
6:30 - 8:30 pm for a donation of  $10-$20 (sliding scale), no 
reservations are required.  The event will be held at the Goleta 
Public Library, 500 North Fairview Ave, Goleta CA, 93117.
