More information

"Acceptera" is a Swedish debate book and propaganda piece for the ideas of functionalism, published in 1931. The authors were Gregor Paulsson, the director of the Swedish Society of Arts and Crafts, and architects Gunnar Asplund, Sven Markelius, Uno Åhrén, Eskil Sundahl, and Wolter Gahn. All had been active in the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, which is generally considered the breakthrough of functionalism in Sweden.
