Abstract

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together art, philosophy, history, and literature, this book investigates the landscapes and buildings of Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund. Through critical essays and beautiful illustrations focusing on four projects, the Woodland Cemetery, the Stockholm Public Library, the Stockholm Exhibition and Asplund’s own house at Stennäs, it addresses the topic of buildings accompanied by landscapes.It proposes that themes related to landscape are central to Asplund’s distinctive work, with these particular sites forming a collection that documents an evolution in his design thinking from 1915 to 1940. The architect himself wrote comparatively little about his design intentions. However, through close reading and analysis of the selected projects as landscapes with architecture, author Malcolm Woollen argues that reflections of the history of Swedish landscape architecture and the intellectual climate in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are evident in his work and help to explain the architect’s intentions.This book is a must-have for academics, advanced students and researchers in landscape architecture and design who are interested in Nordic Classicism and the works of Erik Gunnar Asplund.

Abstract

Raffinée et inventive, l'œuvre de Gunnar Asplund incarne une manière de concevoir l'architecture qui fera de Stockholm et de la Suède un modèle en Europe dès les années 1920. À la recherche d'une spatialité complexe et virtuellement illimitée, Asplund échappe aussi bien à la radicalité des avant-gardes qu'aux tentations historicisantes pour emprunter une nouvelle voie où s'assemblent de manière inédite des thèmes et des figures apparemment inconciliables. Son originalité ne résulte pourtant jamais de choix arbitraires, ni d'une posture affirmative. Peu d'architectes ont exprimé avec une telle lucidité la nécessité de soumettre l'architecture aux contextes plus vastes dans lesquels elle s'insère, qu'ils soient naturels ou culturels. Dans le rapport qu'elle établit avec son environnement, l'oeuvre d'Asplund transmet un sentiment d'adéquation, qui constitue le caractère le plus extraordinaire de sa vision architecturale. Comme l'a noté si justement Alvar Aalto: "A travers son autonégation architecturale, Gunnar Asplund a vu juste en nous indiquant une manière de penser qui a fait triompher l'architecture.
