Description

The aim of this project is to cast a new light on the making of a masterpiece in Swedish architecture and contribute to a further understanding of the role of public cultural buildings in the construction of a Swedish (and Nordic) welfare society. The project describes, analyses and interprets the creation of E.G. Asplund’s City Library in Stockholm in multiple contexts in order to understand and convey some of the visions in the emerging Swedish welfare architecture of the interwar years.
