Land Arts of the American West at Texas Tech University operates from the Huckabee College of Architecture as a transdisciplinary field program dedicated to expanding awareness of the intersection of human construction and the evolving nature of our planet. The program leverages immersive field experience in the desert southwest as a primary pedagogic agent to support research that opens horizons of perception, probes depths of inquiry and advances understanding of human actions shaping environments. Dionne Lee was the inaugural Land Arts Field Resident in 2023 and Aaron Hegert was a Field Guest in 2019.
