A true exclamation-point! The newly opened headquarter of the international Funke Media
Group defines a coherent urban-design ensemble, which, like a well-proportioned body, is
articulated as a consistent whole. Its head: the Funke Media Tower which also accommodates
the News Wall, Germany's largest LED video wall. Its fingers: the surrounding buildings, laid out
for variable uses, which was a crucial factor in the planning process. Pursuant to this
approach, the ensemble also comprises public areas such as lobbies, restaurants, and
conference rooms as well as areas of amenity and recreation. In the interior, the pronounced
planning idea is inscribed in the different usable areas: newsrooms meet offices, a day-care
center for children or employee training facilities. Based on the colors black, silver, and white,
the design concept also references the printing process—metaphorically, the printing ink is
put on white paper by silver stamps. As an architectural footnote, large stretches of cast-stone
tiling in the outdoor areas, punctuated by water basins, rows of closely planted trees, and
courtyard-like green areas underscore the overall urban character of the new corporate
headquarters. Situated between Essen’s Grüne Mitte and Berliner Platz neighborhoods, the
built ensemble of the Funke Media Office may, with the harmonious interplay of its structural
parts, be read as an urban architectural statement that is newsworthy in every possible sense
of the word.
