Together with ArkDes and KTH we are excited to invite you to a special event at Bio Skandia as we honor one of Sweden’s most renowned architects, Gunnar Asplund. Known for his masterful creations, Asplund designed some of Sweden's most iconic buildings, including our beloved Bio Skandia, the Stockholm Public Library, and Skogskyrkogården—a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The event will offer a unique opportunity to explore his legacy and learn more about his profound influence on modern design and architecture.
