Erik Gunnar Asplund ( 22 September 1885 – 20 October 1940 ) was a Swedish architect, mostly known as a representative of Swedish Neo-classical Architecture of the 1920s, and during the last decade of his life as a major proponent of the modernist style which got its breakthrough in Sweden at the 1930 Stockholm Exposition . His major works include the Stockholm Public Library and Skogskyrkogården , a cemetery which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Skogskyrkogården was created between 1917 and 1920 by Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz . Another important work is the extension of the Gothenburg Courthouse which Asplund started on 1917 and finished 1937 - it shows his tranformation from neo-classical to modernist architect.
