Description: Gunnar Asplund's Gothenburg by Nicholas Adams Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Explores the work of Swedish architect Gunnar Asplund, focusing on his courthouse extension (1933–36) in the port city of Gothenburg. Places Asplunds building into the wider context of public architecture in Europe from 1900 to 1950. Publisher Description In the west coast port city of Gothenburg, Sweden, the architect Gunnar Asplund built a modest extension to an old courthouse on the main square (1934–36). Judged today to be one of the finest works of modern architecture, the courthouse extension was immediately the object of a negative newspaper campaign led by one of the most noted editors of the day, Torgny Segerstedt. Famous for his determined opposition to National Socialism, he also took a principled stand against the undermining of urban tradition in Gothenburg. Gothenburgs problems with modern public architecture, though clamorous and publicized throughout Sweden, were by no means unique. In Gunnar Asplunds Gothenburg, Nicholas Adams places Asplunds building in the wider context of public architecture between the wars, setting the originality and sensitivity of Asplunds conception against the political and architectural struggles of the 1930s. Today, looking at the building in the broadest of contexts, we can appreciate the richness of this exquisite work of architecture. This book recaptures the complex magic of its creation and the fascinating controversy of its completed form. Author Biography Nicholas Adams is Mary Conover Mellon Professor in the History of Architecture at Vassar College.
