Woodland Cemetery, Stockholm: the Chapel of Hope
RIBA158076
NOTES: Asplund and Lewerentz won the competition for the new cemetery in 1915 and spent the next 25 years developing the cemetery in a landscape of wooded pines populated by small chapels. The Chapel of Hope is by Asplund (1940). See RIBA132305 for a black and white version of this image.
Theatre del Te, Palazzo del Te, Isola del Te, Mantua; the auditorium of the lecture theatre
RIBA158734
NOTES: This was a conversion of the stable block of the Palazzo del Te (1535 by Giulio Romano) by the architect Adolfo Poltronieri into a lecture theatre. Earlier, in 1984, the same architect had created an exhibitiion gallery in the attic above the vaulted ceilings of the main rooms of the Palazzo. The design of the lecture theatre was largely shaped by the desire to preserve and reveal what existed, in this case, the original brick and pebble floor. Hence the banked seating and stairs have been suspended from the walls above. See RIBA130425 for a black and white version of this image.
