Asplund’s Nordic Classicist library—central rotunda lined with shelves. Spare classical exterior; inside, a circular room of books. A peak before his shift into functionalism.

Highlights

  • Rotunda — How do book walls pair with top light?
  • Exterior cylinder — How does abstracted classicism signal the public?
