Asplund, Gunnar |
Also found in: Hutchinson | 0.02 sec. |
Asplund, (Erik) Gunnar(born Sept. 22, 1885, Stockholm, Swed.—died Oct. 20, 1940, Stockholm) Swedish architect. His work shows the historically important transition from Neoclassical architecture to Modernism. By 1928, influenced by Le Corbusier, he had turned from a retrospective style to a new vision for architecture. He planned the Stockholm Exposition of 1930, a place of futuristic, glassy pavilions that had a significant influence on subsequent exhibition architecture. His Woodland Crematorium, Stockholm (1935–40), with its spare Neoclassical colonnade surrounded by meadows, is admired by Classicists and Modernists alike. How to thank TFD for its existence?
