After 25 years at the Rudi-Dutschke-Strasse across from Checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin daily newspaper moves a block further south. The purchase of the plot Friedrichstrasse 20-22 allows the taz to unite its roughly 250 employees in the future media quarters next to the Bessel Park under one roof again.

The architectural design of the new house for the taz recalls the Moscow "Shabolovka" radio tower by Vladimir G. Shukhov from the early 1920s. Its structural system, conceived as a network, attempts to reach the greatest possible load capacity with the fewest possible elements.

The main structure is composed of diagonal bracings along the periphery of the building envelope and therefore does not require any additional support on the inside. The thirteen-meter, free-spanning office floors create a row-like, workshop atmosphere and are able to respond flexibly to a variety of different forms of use.
