City Repair Project,
A Street Corner Revolution

with Mark Lakeman
Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 7:00 PM
Santa Barbara Central 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 ( 
www.cityrepair.org ), with a talk 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 & 
Hope Dance Media sponsor the event.
