Practice Information
Gunnar Asplund - Architect1885-1940
Gunnar Asplund was born and died in Stockholm, Sweden. Asplund and Lewerentz are generally recognised as two of the greatest Swedish architects of the 20th Century in Sweden, and came to worldwide attention. Most histories of World Architecture reference them and their collaboration - the Woodland Cemetery.
His work is not the Modernism of Mies or Corbusier but a softer style much influenced by Classical architecture. Just as with the National Romantic Style popular in neighboruing Finland so Gunnar fused the International Style with more traditional and more Swedish forms. Asplund worked initially for Tengrom, Westman & Ostberg Architects in Sweden.
