Media Facades

Building Envelopes That Amaze and Energise.

Anyone who builds faces the challenge of creating attractive, interactive and lively places. Our media facades create urban spaces of communication and expand architectural forms of expression. To achieve this, we collaborate from conception to technical realisation with leading architectural firms.

Combining Technology and Architecture

The combination of technology and architecture creates media facades that blend seamlessly into their surroundings and add a digital dimension to cities. High-resolution LED systems, adaptive lighting controls and transparent displays ensure flexible utilisation and specific use of public spaces. These systems not only create visual experiences, but also make a contribution to urban ecology: intelligent media facades optimise energy consumption, improve the microclimate and can be combined with sustainable technologies such as photovoltaics or green areas. Smart control systems enable dynamic adaptation to the time of day, events or interactions with passers-by and allow buildings to actively participate in urban life.

Our Offerings at a Glance

Green Facades Building Envelopes for the Cities of the Future

Ecological sustainability is one of our key areas of innovation. We develop solutions that combine communicative architecture with urban ecology. To do this, we focus on the combination of media technology with intelligent shading systems and plant-based coverings. This combination results in new, exceptionally attractive building envelopes. In addition, it also has positive effects on noise and temperature regulation in urban areas and helps to directly reduce particulate matter and CO2. Smart shading systems furthermore improve the energy efficiency of the buildings themselves. The future shines green!

Media Facades A New Dimension in Urban Communication

Cities face the challenge of creating attractive and vibrant public spaces. All too often, a patchwork of information displays and lights causes architecture to sink into the sensory chaos of the city. Our expertise, on the other hand, lies in initiating a genuine dialogue between built space, media and people. This is essential for creating liveable cities with vibrant cultural spaces for the future.

Kinetic Facades Dynamic Interaction with the Environment

Architecture is often static and does not react to its surroundings. Buildings should adapt to changing environmental conditions and at the same time offer aesthetic and functional added value. Kinetic facades integrate movable elements that react to wind, light or temperature changes. Intelligent mechanisms create changeable architecture that not only vitalises the cityscape, but also contributes to energy efficiency and allows new design freedom.
