Gunnar Asplund's design of Stockholm's Public Library in the 1920s marked a transition between Neoclassicism and Rationalism in European architecture. The library, completed in 1928, was a fusion of classical and modern elements, influenced by a desire to create a national identity in Swedish architecture.

Asplund's library design was monumental, featuring a cylindrical reading room with three terraced levels of open shelving. The central cylinder's walls, reaching the full height of 42 meters, were adorned with roughly stuccoed finishes and illuminated by a ring of windows near the flat ceiling. The reading room was reminiscent of both Etienne Louis-Boullée's work and the Roman Pantheon.

While Asplund's architectural contemporaries included Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier, his work earned him a significant place in Sweden's architectural history. The Stockholm Public Library became a defining structure in Swedish architecture during a time of transition, reflecting Sweden's shift from National Romanticism to rational Modernism.

This iconic library was a product of Sweden's evolving architectural landscape, emphasizing both national heritage and global influences, and symbolized the nation's architectural identity during a period of uncertainty and transformation.

I was in Stockholm for one week to help my daughter settle in Stockholm for her university study and needed a quiet place to read a technical book I brought by myself. This library has an excellent architecture and it is really a joy to read in the library. Being a public library, it is open to anyone, this is probably also the reason why people in reading rooms are not very quiet (talking on mobile phone or having a conversation there is no problem). There is also a small coffee shop (something very important to me personally), however the coffee served is of low quality and the blond lady working there does not like to answer...

A Biblioteca Municipal de Estocolmo, localizada na icÎnica SveavÀgen 73, é uma joia arquitetÎnica e cultural na capital sueca. Projetada pelo renomado arquiteto Gunnar Asplund e inaugurada em 1928, esta biblioteca é um exemplo paradigmåtico do funcionalismo no design de bibliotecas.

A escolha de materiais e o estilo decorativo refletem a simplicidade e a elegĂąncia do modernismo escandinavo.

ColeçÔes e Recursos A biblioteca abriga um vasto acervo de mais de 2 milhÔes de itens, incluindo livros, periódicos, manuscritos e materiais audiovisuais em diversos idiomas. As seçÔes são organizadas de forma intuitiva, facilitando a navegação e a busca por materiais específicos. Hå um foco notåvel em literatura sueca e internacional, e a biblioteca é particularmente conhecida por sua coleção de literatura infantil.

Serviços e Facilidades Os serviços oferecidos sĂŁo de alta qualidade. HĂĄ mĂșltiplos pontos de acesso Ă  internet, salas de leitura reservadas, e ĂĄreas de estudo em grupo que atendem Ă s necessidades tanto de acadĂȘmicos quanto de leitores casuais. O atendimento ao pĂșblico Ă© prestativo e eficiente, com funcionĂĄrios bem preparados e prontos para auxiliar com informaçÔes e orientaçÔes.
