This thesis project is an investigation of time and endurance. Temporality and change. It is an intuitive journey through the past. By collecting, redrawing and speculating I have explored the past and present of a site and a building. The hospital institution Danvikens Hospital dates back to the 16th century, and the current building from 1719 can be seen as the first monumental hospital building in Sweden. The site went through irreversible infrastructural changes at the beginning of the 20th century, with the excavation of Hammarby canal. Following this, the building has had short identities as an archive, workshop and hotel. This project work with findings from the past, using textile to create a new identity and life for the building.
