DESCRIPTION: The Stockholm library is one of the city's most notable structures. Somehow inspired by Ledoux´s "Rotonde de la Villette", Asplund abandoned earlier ideas for a dome in favour of a rotunda.He also reduced elements of the classical order to their most abstract geometrical forms.The building was completed with a park, a pond and shops along a nearby street.

DESCRIPTION: The stadium also known as "Olympiastadion" was designed by the German architect Günther Behnisch and the engineer Frei Otto, and it was considered revolutionary for its time. It was built as the main venue for the "1972 Summer Olympics" in a pit made by bombings during World War II. It has an original capacity of 80.000 seats and hosted many major football matches. The architecture of the building is made of canopies of acrylic glass stabilized by steel cables that were used for the first time on a large scale. The idea was to imitate the Alps and to set a counterpart to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, held during the Nazi regime.

DESCRIPTION: The Stockholm cemetery also known as "Skogskyrkogården" was the result of an international competition held in 1915 whose winners were the young architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz. Two years later, the construction started in the middle of a forest. The cemetery was built completely adapted to the ground of this forest, and it included several chapels and a crematorium. In 1994 was declared "World Heritage" by the UNESCO.

DESCRIPCIÓN: El edificio salva un fuerte desnivel de un lado a otro de la calle, con un volumen soterrado que hace de zócalo y otro que crece en vertical y confiere presencia al conjunto. El volumen exterior es sólo el 60 % del edificio. La principal característica del edificio es su sensación de fragilidad e ingravidez conseguida gracias a un núcleo rígido de muros pantalla de hormigón desde donde se cuelgan las demás plantas con unos tirantes fijados a unas cerchas situadas en la cubierta. De ese modo parece que el volumen gravita sobre el plano del suelo, creando así esa sensación de ligereza. En definitiva, una obra maestra de la arquitectura española.

DESCRIPTION: The Einstein Tower is considered the best piece of expressionist architecture, and was designed to house a solar telescope to prove Albert Einstein´s relativity theory. The building was conceived originally in concrete but at the end it was built with brick walls and stucco. Asked his opinion about the building, Einstein only stated one word: "organic".

DESCRIPTION: Villa Mairea is a guest-house  and rural retreat  for the Gullichsens, a wealthy couple who were lovers and promoters of art. They told Aalto that he should regard it as 'an experimental house'. Aalto seems to have treated the house as an opportunity to bring together all the themes that had been preoccupying him in his work.

Excepcional e interesantísimo video realizado en Madrid (2004) por Iñaki Bergera sobre la figura del gran arquitecto.

Rafael Aburto, fue uno de los arquitectos destacados de la llamada primera generación de posguerra de la arquitectura moderna en España (Fisac, Cabrero, Sota, Coderch, etc.).

Interesante video realizado en 2013, en ocasión del centenario del nacimiento del arquitecto Rafael Aburto.

"El invento en arquitectura no existe..Nos influenciamos unos a otros sin darnos cuenta..." Aburto.
