Erik Gunnar Asplund Architect

Gingko Press · 1997 · 132 pp.

This monograph, originally published by Gingko Press in 1986, sold more than 25,000 copies worldwide and is the definitive work on Asplund. Asplund became the dominant representative of the Scandinavian classicism which marked the twenties, known as 'Swedish Grace'. He then became the leading light of functionalism, but soon moved from stereotyped modernism to a traditionally based architecture.
