Permanence in architecture

How can we generate sustainable architecture in relation to permanence and aging? How can we bring knowledge about old existing buildings in the design process for new architecture? I think it is important to reflect on choice of material because of a buildings life span. Also to be aware of what frame of references are the start for the designprocess. I have been investigated old existing buildings in Småland with focus on permanence in architecture that I think have aged well. I think it is a gap between the design process and the manufacturing industry in Småland. To maintain and develop the knowledge and work close together I think it could gain the whole process to add education in the region. The outcome of this investigation is an art and design school as boarding school in a rural area in the outskirt of Eksjö. The design proposal are based on some concept out of the site analysis and the wooden survey. Organic shaped volumes in relation to a structural grid system is the main construction at the site. This kind of architecture creates an interesting contrast to the existing built environment at the site.
