558 SE - Skogskyrkogården (1994)

Brief Description

"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."

斯科斯累格加登公墓
"这块位于斯德哥尔摩的公墓是由两位年轻的建筑师──阿斯普隆德和莱韦伦茨设计,建于1917-1920年。他们用砂砾铺地,地上种满了松树。这里的设计把植物、建筑特色及地形的不规则性相结合,使景观与墓地功能相融合。它对世界上许多国家的墓地设计都产生了深刻影响。"
