THE MYTHIC MODERN: Architectural Expeditions into the Spirit of Place

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.
