- DESCRIPTION: The Stockholm library is one of the city’s most notable structures. Somehow inspired by Ledoux´s “Rotonde de la Villette”, Asplund abandoned earlier ideas for a dome in favour of a rotunda.He also reduced elements of the classical order to their most abstract geometrical forms.The building was completed with a park, a pond and shops along a nearby street.

- DESCRIPTION:The Stockholm cemetery also known as “Skogskyrkogården” was the result of an international competition held in 1915 whose winners were the young architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz. Two years later, the construction started in the middle of a forest. The cemetery was built completely adapted to the ground of this forest, and it included several chapels and a crematorium. In 1994 was declared “World Heritage” by the UNESCO.
