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 at sbpermaculture.org. The SBCC Center for Sustainability and the Santa
Barbara Permaculture Network sponsor the event.
