Jakeborg



this is a small village/town called jakeborg which is situated between malmo and Lund in south of sweden. It's a whole new town built as a medieval village architecture vise and the layout of the village. It's been very discussed in the architectural press in sweden since it's hated by all architects but loved by public and it's been a massive cue for the houses..It's located very close to my school in sweden and I think it's a very weird place it doesn't have any site context and it's like stepping in to a medieval Disneyland, I wonder why it's so popular by the public though and what are we doing wrong in the housing architecture in sweden if we have to recreate a medieval city to make very popular housing..
