"In the summer of 1992, Travis proposed taking ten to fifiteen architecture students to the far reaches of our continent to design and build interventions within well-defined landscapes, sites that reflected equally a long history of working and reworking both the profane and sacred. Called "The Spirit of Place," these workshops in the field encompassed focused studies of a place and its inhabitants as well as exploring the deep belief systems, myths, and stories that defined them ... What unfolded was a twenty-year history of interventions in cultural settings often completel foreign to the quotidian exeriences of our predominantly East Coast undergraduates"--Page VIII.
