The architects designed the entire complex, from the landscape to the smallest lamp, though there are also integrated sculptures by Carl Milles. Lewerentzís contribution mainly concerned the landscape but also the main entrance and the classical ìUppstÂndelsekapelletî or Resurrection Chapel, which was built in 1925. Asplund devoted himself mainly to the buildings, and the small Woodland Crematorium built in 1935-40 has been regarded as a central work in his oeuvre as well as the Nordic Classicism style of that period. The small chapel, set on a Tuscan peristyle and featuring a gold statue on the roof by Carl Milles, was in fact derived from a ìprimitive hutî that Asplund had happened to see in a garden at Liselund. The crematorium, with its Faith, Hope, and Holy Cross Chapels, was Asplundís final work of architecture, designed in a rational modernist style typical for his later work, opened shortly before his death in 1940. In 1994, SkogskyrkogÂrden was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and although it does not have the number of famous interments as the Norra begravningsplatsen, its much older counterpart in northern Stockholm, it is a major tourist attraction. At the Tallum Pavilion (a building designed originally by Asplund as staff facilities), visitors can see an exhibition about the cemetery and the story of its origins and the two architects whose vision created it.

Project 09 Structure and Stratification

Field : Architectural Association School of Architecture Visiting School Workshop Program : Computational Design My Role : Processing, Grasshopper3D, Rendering Site : Shanghai Award : Selection Super Architects Online Collaboration : Qing Hong, Ningxin Huang, Siu Yoon, Zihao Wang Schedue : April 2015

This 8-day intensive studio at the AAVS Shanghai was interested in the [ geological model of strata ] as an inspiration for computational and urban models, rather than a biological or organic model. At a certain moment in the sixties, early computer xperiments by artists such as Frieder Nake, Michael Noll and Vera Molnar coincided with the [ radical architectural ] proposals by a group of architects which were later categorized as Structuralists. These group of architects included Aldo Van Eyck, Herman Hertzberger and metabolists like Kenzo Tange. However, these two movements never intersected with each other, and only recently there is a renewed interest in the legacy of their work. The studio looked at computational models developed by these early group of mavericks, and translated them into [ highly structured ] , an-organic, architectural models. Different from early sketches, students were able to update models with time-based, adaptive qualities which are able to absorband respond to external parameters.
