Hage

Hage project, located in Lund, Sweeden, designed by Brendeland & Kristoffersen architects and Price & Myers, is one of the 5 finalist projects selected for the European Prize for Urban Public Space 2022.

Lund Cathedral decided to use its properties to develop a public space that would be an alternative to the logic of rapid urbanisation in its surroundings. A courtyard, closed on three sides by walls made of bricks recovered from a demolished factory building, is set in still-undeveloped land on the outskirts of Lund. The owner of the land has decided not to keep pace with the urbanising development of the area, but to let it follow its own course open to the citizens.

The courtyard is a first intervention, an anticipation of a gradual evolution of the place: an hortus inconclusus.
