The original structure of Zittel’s home in the Mojave Desert was a homestead cabin, built during the period of the Homestead Act. While developing A-Z West, one of her first projects was the “Homestead Unit” (2001), a portable and compact structure that circumvents the necessity of a building permit due to their small size, recalling the structures mandated by the government with the Homestead Act. Continuing an investigation of limited infrastructures, scattered throughout the A-Z West grounds are twelve “Wagon Stations,” portable one-person shelters that accommodate residents each spring and fall.
