David Wessel, Board Member of CFI (USA), on Setting New Standards in Ukraine’s Recovery

In this 4-minute interview, architect David Wessel from the Center for Innovation (CFI) shares his reflections after visiting the destroyed main building of State Tax University in Irpin, Ukraine. Speaking after the announcement of the Architectural Competition winners, David emphasizes that “universities are the heart of civil society” — and that rebuilding them means rebuilding the country’s future. He discusses how this initiative has grown beyond the idea of restoring a single building. The project, he says, has the potential to set a new national standard for reconstruction in Ukraine — through modern project management, transparency, resilient materials, and sustainable design. David’s message is clear: rebuilding is not only about bricks and walls, but about values, culture, and unity.
