Listers Härads Tingshus

By this point in time, Asplund has apparently made a name for himself and got the opportunity to design a town courthouse. It is another famous example of his work still today. Another one of the things I learned about Erik Gunnar Asplund is that he was also into interior design. So not only did he design the building itself, but he also played a role in the furnishings and other pieces inside. It’s always interesting to learn what a person may have been thinking when they designed something one hundred years ago. The story goes in the article I read that Asplund’s wife was pregnant when he was designing this structure and that some aspects were designed with this in mind. Another example of Classicism from around 1920 (Listers Härads Tingshus, n.d.).
