taz办公楼位于柏林城区的一个显著的转角位置，它需要在传统建筑与IBA时期的独立建筑之间建立协调的关系。该方案将城市建筑与转角场地进行了结合，采用了经典的柏林式高屋檐，并在朝向Friedrichstrasse大街的立面创造出一个清晰的缩进式入口。街道、转角和庭院成为了城市的主题，将既有建筑的围合结构转化为一个简洁大方的体量。

In its prominent corner location, the new taz building must mediate between the traditional Berlin block and the solitary buildings from the period of the IBA. Our design combines the urban block and the corner: we adopt the height of a typical Berlin eave and continue the block; a subtle setback of the façade facing Friedrichstrasse creates a clearly accentuated entrance. Street, corner, and courtyard thus become the urban leitmotiv and convert the potential building envelope of the existing development plan into a simple and concise volume.

新办公楼拥有一个网络式的结构系统，以尽可能少的元素来达到最大的负载能力。网络结构意味着所有的组成部分都必须保持均等的特性，以实现整体的稳定。这是一个没有层级的系统，因此新建筑的外观就承载了结构和内部组织的双重意义。

Its structural system, conceived as a network, attempts to reach the greatest possible load capacity with the fewest possible elements. The net is a structure in which all the parts must perform equally and only together can they achieve stability. It is a system with no hierarchy. The architectural appearance of the new house for taz thus becomes simultaneously the structure and emblem of the organization.
