Land art is suppose to be subject to natural processes such as deterioration.[3] Between 1980 and 2003 Voth built three structures in Morocco. The Stairway to Heaven in 1987, the Golden Spiral in 1997, and the City of Orion in 2003. The structures are open to the public by day and the travel company Epic Travel has been granted the exclusive permission from Voth’s foundation for luxury overnight camps.[4]
