Abstract
The intense relation between architecture and landscape is analysed in the work of Erik Gunnar Asplund (1885-1940). His humanistic approach emphasizes the public condition and provides an environment for civic life. For Alvar Aalto, “in all Asplund's works the same connection with a nature that includes man is clearly perceived.” With the integration of the classical with the vernacular, his early works are ascribed to romantic naturalism. Reconciling the classic with the vernacular, the processional itinerary of the Woodland chapel (1918-1920) is reconciled with the common beauty of primitive architecture and evokes his trip to the classical world. The Villa Snellman (1917-1918) reinterprets the “architettura minore” [minor architecture] and constitutes the recovery of the elementary language of traditional construction. In a synthesis of contained expressiveness, the Stockholm Library (1920-1928) organizes an emphatic sequential itinerary. The formal sequence of buildings and public spaces orders the composition of the Stockholm Exhibition (1930). The aesthetic and social manifesto conceived by Asplund at the Stockholm Exhibition is the beginning of the Scandinavian architectural renovation and reflects the incipient constitution of the welfare society. After the Stockholm exhibition Asplund published the manifesto Acceptera (1931) where aesthetic and social proclamations are vindicated. Synthesis of tradition, modernity and context, the contextual extension of the Goteborg Law courts annex (1913-1936) harmonizes with the old palace. Asplund's architectural renovation is rooted in cultural identity and civic values. Taking into account the local conditions, the landscape, the climate and the tradition in the Villa in Stennäs (1935), the identity traits of the vernacular construction emerge. Asplund moves away from the modern avant-garde and approaches the so-called Nordic empiricism. Expanding the scope of architectural modernity, the Woodland Crematorium (1935-1940) condenses Asplund's landscape sensitivity. The geographical assessment, the tangential and indirect organization of the routes and the intermediate architectures intensify the relationship with the site.
