DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*: The Woodland Cemetery was designed and constructed
  over a period of 25 years\, by Sigurd Lewerentz and Gunnar Asplund and in
  its completed form bears very little resemblance to the competition winni
 ng scheme. Recognised as one of the great “Modernist” landscapes\, the
  history of its design shows that rather than the transcription of an idea
 \, its form is the result of the repeated reconsideration and erasure of i
 ts earlier incarnations. By assembling the available fragments drawings\, 
 and placing them in the context of the architectural projects carried out 
 by the authors over the same period\, the struggle to overcome the memory 
 of past architectures in order to produce a new synthesis is seen as analo
 gous to the “Trauerarbeit” of mourning.\n\n*Biography*: Kevin Fellingh
