Fasad stadsbiblioteket — E. G. Asplund

Designed and built between 1918 and 1927, the Stockholm public library is one of the most important buildings of Asplund’s career. This detailed plan represents the main facade of the library. The name “blueprint” comes from a printing process: cyanotypy, then diazography. It was a technical drawing used for the construction of the building.

Erik Gunnar Asplund (1885–1940), Sweden

A central figure in 20th-century architecture, Erik Gunnar Asplund shaped the transition from Nordic Classicism to modernism. His work, including the Stockholm Public Library and the Woodland Cemetery, reflects a precise balance between monumentality and human scale.
