Reuse in construction requires experimentation. The lack of established protocols and standard materials opens new realms of engagement for architects and engineers alike. Anna MacIver-Ek and Axel Chevroulet discuss how working with like-minded colleagues in the architecture collective La Clique gives them invaluable freedom to experiment with new ideas and designs.

The guests talk with Ana Bendiek-Laranjo, Arabelle de Saussure and Catherine De Wolf of the CEA Lab at ETH Zurich about the value of combining practice with academia and the importance of working with both new technologies and traditional building methods.
