Summary

Skogskyrkogården, the Forest Cemetery in Stockholm designed by Asplund and Lewerentz, exemplifies how symbolic 'dis-velamento' can reveal the invisible within the visible landscape. Through the concept of Stimmung and references to Emanuel Swedenborg's Science of Correspondences, the study demonstrates that the cemetery does not merely mimic nature but constructs a tension between natural and artificial elements, making the intangible tangible. The 1914 competition tables, which combine annotated drawings and photographs, serve as tools for abstraction and re-signification, contrasting with contemporary realistic architectural simulations. This approach highlights Skogskyrkogården's unique role in Nordic landscape design.
