Planning
Principles
Our four key themes, ‘time, money, land, and God’, position the Råängen programme within a broad, philosophical, as well as practical framework. They allow us the freedom to experiment with big ideas and small-scale interventions. They are fundamental aspects of all urban development, driving discussions and decisions about investment, value, ownership, timeframes, quality, commitment, and endeavour. The addition of ‘God’ for the Råängen programme, situates the project within a theological context which extends the parameters of the project to a place where spirituality and care for the planet plays an important part.

Approach
What we’re doing in Råängen is deceptively simple. On a ten-hectare piece of land that is currently a series of fallow fields on the outskirts of Lund, we are commissioning artists and architects to make art, buildings and conversations for a new community. We are taking our time, testing ideas, asking questions, freeing ourselves from the idea that in order to progress, we must provide answers to these questions. We have no masterplan but rather an approach to building. All of our commissions, public events, texts and conversations are channelled into the brief for the next project. Read more
Building
The first homes will be built around Hage, our public garden. The selection of plots, which began with Flores & Prats’ proposal for the Tower and Corner House, form a loose cluster of buildings. The gaps between these buildings will be farmed, thereby maintaining connections to the rich agricultural context. The first building projects will establish the quality, scale and character of the new neighbourhood. These have been entrusted to a talented group of architects who are responsible for introducing developers to help realise the projects. Read more
