Abstract

In the early 20th century, Swedish landscape was effected by Arts and Crafts movement, paying attention to concise, and simple style, and promoting the natural combination of landscape and buildings [1]. In 1917, the Swedish architect Aspland and the landscape architect Levilenz designed “the modern movement Parthenon”—the Stockholm forest cemetery. In 1930, the Stockholm exhibition organized by Aspland emphasized combination of nature and landscape, so that space can breathe along with the nature. Then Swedish City Park had its own design team, such as Braum, Graham etc. From 1930 — 1940, with functionalism introduced into Sweden, Scandinavian design in an uncomplicated, aesthetic style created a national characteristic of the landscape, where "Stockholm School" ideas has influenced the modern landscape architecture's language, such as Hermelin, S.I Anderson, Martinson, etc. [2]
