| Discussion | Lister County Courthouse Commentary
"The Lister courthouse (1917-21)—arguably the most theatrical of Erik Gunnar Asplund's buildings — occupies an important position in the sequence of his classical designs...The theatricality is most apparent in the delight that Asplund took in giving each of the four faŤades a different — indeed contradictory — character. They are like stage sets that neither relate to one another nor say much about what is happening within... "The motif that is most obviously imposed at Lister is the drum although it may seem strange to suggest that it is imposed since it houses the court so satisfactorily..." — Dan Cruickshank, ed. Erik Gunnar Asplund. p41-2. | ||||||
