Notes: The book explores a significant part of the projects and achievements of Gunnar Asplund, the central protagonist of modern Swedish architecture. Focusing on the period between the contest for the famous Woodland Cemetery (1913) and the Stockholm International Exhibition of 1930, the book presents the most characteristic elements of Asplund's work and Scandinavian architecture in general. The text is accompanied by a series of illustrations from the Stockholm Archive of Architecture and Design (ArkDes). Projects and achievements are presented by themes (e.g. Landscapes, Houses, Monuments, etc.). Asplund produced a large number of remarkable public buildings in perfect balance between modernity and tradition.
