The Crazannes Quarries by Bernard Lassus
An Essay Analyzing the Creations of a Landscape
by Michel Conan

The unexpected discovery of ancient quarries, still buried under tons of rubble, that laid in the path of a motorway under construction in western France suggested the possibility of transforming them into Land Art.

The creative process by Bernard Lassus provides a wonderful opportunity for a close observation, illustrated by his own photographs and drawings, of his landscape design approach. It shows how an artist calls upon his own life experiences and upon his understanding of the ethical and esthetic issues of landscape design to create a stunning landscape.

This is the first book in new series that Spacemaker Press is publishing in partnership with the garden and landscape studies program at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, DC.
