Taking an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together art, philosophy, history and literature, this book investigates the landscapes and buildings of Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund. 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 - 1940. 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 Stenn s, it addresses the topic of buildings accompanied by landscapes.
However, through close reading and analysis of the selected projects as landscapes with architecture, author Malcolm Woollen argues that The architect himself wrote comparatively little about his design intentions.
