Clare Cooper Marcus, Professor Emeritus of UC Berkeley's College of
Environmental
Design, will present a lecture on Thursday, March 13 in San Francisco on the
topic, "PUBLIC SPACE IN SHARED HOUSING."
Cooper Marcus will discuss design considerations for semi-public/semi-private
community spaces within clustered housing such as co-housing projects.  She
has observed that design professionals do not fully understand the new
village genre of outdoor space and will offer her insight into residents'
needs and rights,
especially those of children.
Cooper Marcus is internationally recognized for her pioneering research
during 25 years of teaching sociological aspects of architecture, land-use
planning and
landscape design - particularly urban open space.  She has authored several
books, including "Architecture As If People Mattered", " People Places",
and "House As a Mirror of Self", and is currently writing a book on the
healing power of gardens in hospitals.  Clare is also an avid researcher of
cohousing in Europe and North America and serves as an advisor to The
CoHousing
Network.
The lecture is co-sponsored by ADPSR (Architects, Planners & Designers for
Social Responsibility), East Bay AIA COTE, Urban Ecology, and the Ecological
Design Institute.  It will be held at the PG&E Energy Center, 851 Howard St.,
two blocks south of Powell Street Bart. 6:00pm reception, 6:30 lecture. $5
donation.
Call 510-273-2428 to confirm event dates and topics.
