Erik Gunnar Asplund

Japanese: アスプルンド - あすぷるんど(英語表記)Erik Gunnar Asplund
Erik Gunnar Asplund

Swedish architect. Studied architecture at the Royal Academy in Stockholm. Travels to Greece and Italy from 1913 to 1914 left a strong impression on him, and classical architecture would remain a part of his life's work. One of his early works is known as the Stockholm Public Library (1924-1927). He made a name for himself as a modern architect with his effective use of steel and glass at the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition, but in the Stockholm Crematorium, completed in 1940, he returned to classicism once again with its neat appearance.

Japanese:

スウェーデンの建築家。ストックホルム王立学院で建築を学ぶ。1913年から1914年にかけてのギリシア、イタリア旅行から鮮烈な印象を受け、生涯の作品に古典建築の影をとどめることになった。初期の作品ではストックホルム市立図書館(1924~1927)が知られる。1930年のストックホルム博覧会で鉄とガラスを有効に使用して近代建築家の名のりをあげたが、1940年に完成したストックホルム火葬場では、その端正なたたずまいにおいてふたたび古典に立ち返った。
