Mark Lakeman lecture: Friday 9.23.11
The Landscape Architecture Department at Cal Poly is sponsoring a lecture on Friday, September 23, at 5:30 pm in the Berg Gallery by Mark Lakeman and Marisha Auerbach. Mark is the founder of the City Repair Project, among other world changing initiatives. Marisha is a practitioner and lecturer on permaculture and has collaborated with the City Repair Project.
City Repair is an organization composed mostly of volunteers whose mission is to educate and inspire people to "build community by creatively transforming public space into neighborhood gathering places."
The organization is best known for its community interventions, or "intersection repair" happenings, which are events that work to reclaim, for one day, residential street intersections as public plazas and gathering spaces. These efforts were born out of a desire to create stronger community ties in neighborhoods and highlight the lack of public spaces that are available within our physical environment. These events, which started with one intersection in Portland, are now a nationwide and even international phenomenon.
