The second episode of the video podcast “Focus on Building” by Campus Radio at the University of Liechtenstein explores one of the most relevant topics in the construction industry today: upcycling in architecture. At its core lies the question of how existing materials and structures can be reimagined as resources—in terms of design, construction, and societal impact.

Prof. Dr. Daniel Stockhammer, Professor of Building Heritage and Circular Construction at the University of Liechtenstein and editor of the book “Upcycling: Reuse and Repurposing as a Design Principle in Architecture,” joins architecture students Stacey and Lorin to discuss design strategies, cultural responsibility, and international developments surrounding reuse in construction. The conversation takes place as part of the elective course Campus Radio.

“Upcycling challenges us not only to rethink architectural design, but also to approach existing resources with respect and creativity,” emphasizes host Andreas Krättli, lecturer at Campus Radio at the University of Liechtenstein.

The episode is now available on www.podcasthus.li, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, and via livestream at www.campusradio.li, as well as on the official channels of the University of Liechtenstein.
