ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the process of making space into place through occupation and intervention with the land. It considers place as a continuum across time and cultures and find potential in situating questions between disciplines and definitions. The chapter presents the record of life in the land and analytically and generatively, the presence of habitation and questions of place that extend beyond notions of utility and describes the more subtle relations of our existence in a particular landscape. The chapter provides the basic, how-to information necessary to operate a field program within the college or university context. The intention is to make available the more than seventy years of experience with field programming embodied in our cohort to anyone interested in implementing their own program by providing a window into what is involved in preparing to take students into the field.
