[Scpg] Wed., Sept. 16 in SB: Mark Lakeman of City Repair in Portland, Oregon

[Wesley Roe and Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

Please help get the word out! to any and all community organizers and 
neighbors who would like to create an even stronger community spirit 
in Santa Barbara. Mark Lakeman and www.cityrepair.org has been very 
influential in my work with nurturing Neighborhood Garden Exchanges 
and www.sbfoodnotlawns.org

This is not about reinventing all we are doing but perhaps encourage 
ways to strengthen, share and further connect all we are doing.

Let me know if you or anyone you know would like to have a table that 
shares their community work.

Thanks!

Lynn

City Repair Project,
A Street Corner Revolution
Slide Show & Talk with Mark Lakeman
Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 7:00 PM
Santa Barbara Public Library, Faulkner Gallery
Donation $10


         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 Wednesday, September 16, 7:00 PM.



         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 Wednesday, September 
16,  at 7:00 PM for a donation of  $10, 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 email lynn at sbfoodnotlawns.org.



Santa Barbara Food Not Lawns, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and 
Hope Dance sponsor the event.
