With the first episode of the new video podcast “Focus on Building”, Campus Radio at the University of Liechtenstein launches an exciting conversation series about building in alpine regions. The premiere focuses on the municipality of Triesenberg, its current projects, and visions for the future.

Guest speaker Christoph Beck, Mayor of Triesenberg, joined architecture students Thannavat Dill and Ömer Corbaci to discuss the balance between preservation and development. The episode was hosted by lecturer Andreas Krättli.

A special topic of discussion was the historic Madleni Hus, which is to be revitalised in the near future. The vacant mountain inn Sücka also sparked creative ideas—developed by the students as part of their coursework. “I really enjoyed exchanging ideas with the students—and I always love talking about my favourite place, Triesenberg,” said Christoph Beck.

The conversation took a personal turn when discussing the new fire station, photovoltaic systems, and infrastructure projects. Beck highlighted his commitment to sustainability and alpine identity in architecture. “Triesenberg shows how history, sustainability, and innovation can be meaningfully combined,” said Thannavat Dill. “The level of care applied to construction here is truly instructive for us,” added Ömer Corbaci.

The episode “What’s Happening in Triesenberg?” is now available on YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and via web radio at www.campusradio.li.
