- Sweden 2005. Forest Cemetery.
Woodland Cemetery, Stockholm
(1994)
Sweden

|
This Stockholm cemetery was created between 1917 and 1920 by two young
architects, Asplund and Lewerentz, on the site of former gravel pits overgrown
with pine trees. The design blends vegetation and architectural elements, taking
advantage of irregularities in the site to create a landscape that is finely
adapted to its function. It has had a profound influence in many countries of
the world.
