The new build­ing, opened in 2015, is an open, flex­i­ble, re­in­forced con­crete frame struc­ture made from sim­ple, ro­bust ma­te­ri­als. The build­ing from ar­chi­tects Barkow Leibinger adds to the first con­struc­tion phase of the cre­ative cen­tre, which con­nects cul­tural ac­tiv­i­ties such as ex­hi­bi­tions, the­atre and club events with nu­mer­ous re­tail and ser­vice com­pa­nies in the cre­ative field. The ori­en­ta­tion sys­tem that was de­vel­oped for Prinzen­straße 85 was adapted to the new build­ing, while re­tain­ing the dis­tinc­tive el­e­ments of the first de­sign. At the main en­trance, large, glazed ori­en­ta­tion signs com­mu­ni­cate the struc­ture of the build­ing. Smaller plaques serve to guide the vis­i­tor to the var­i­ous court­yards and build­ing sec­tions, as well as within the cor­ri­dors of each floor. The name Auf­bau Haus is lit by two large signs – one in the di­rec­tion of Mor­itzplatz, and the other fac­ing Oranien­hof, for events which take place there.

The Auf­bau Haus, lo­cated in a for­mer fac­tory build­ing, con­nects the cre­ative in­dus­tries with cre­ative artists and ser­vice providers. The Auf­bau Ver­lag Pub­lish­ing House, the or­gan­i­sa­tion which gave the build­ing its name, and Mod­u­lor Ma­te­r­ial To­tal, have made this build­ing their reg­is­tered of­fices. The im­age-based logo es­tab­lishes the build­ing as a space and net­work for cre­ative ac­tiv­i­ties. The logo can also be used in part on fly­ers and on the In­ter­net.

In the middle of Berlin Kreuzberg, PANDION OFFICEHOME developed a modern commercial courtyard with contemporary, flexible spaces as an optimal “new work environment” for start-ups and traditional companies alike. Eike Becker Architekten designed a building with an urban loft character. The wayfinding system gives the building complex a visual identity and creates orientation.

The new head­quar­ter of the DGUV (Ger­man So­cial Ac­ci­dent In­sur­ance), de­signed by Grün­tuch Ernst Ar­chitek­ten, is lo­cated in the cen­tre of Berlin. Moni­teurs de­signed the build­ing ori­en­ta­tion sig­nage for its con­fer­ence rooms, re­cep­tion area, of­fice spaces and the un­der­ground carpark. Moni­teurs re­alised the en­tire sig­nage in glass – es­pe­cially de­vel­oped for the DGUV, highly re­lated to the cor­po­rate iden­tity.
