Description
Erik Gunnar Asplund (1885-1940) produced buildings of extraordinary grace and poetry in his native Sweden. Among his best known works are the pavilions at the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition, the Stockholm Library (1928) and the Woodland Chapel (1920). This book celebrates the life and work of an architect who was recognised for his unique blend of Classical, Modernist and vernacular architecture.
The book has many detailed illustrations, photographs and plans of Asplund's work, making it an excellent briefing on this overlooked architect.
