Two large com­pa­nies have their head­quar­ters at Auf­bau Haus: the Auf­bau Ver­lag Pub­lish­ing House and Mod­u­lor, a ma­te­ri­als provider which, as Planet Mod­u­lor, pro­vides ad­di­tional ser­vices to the cre­ative and craft in­dus­tries in the build­ing. The ar­eas of ac­tiv­ity of the two main ten­ants – writ­ing and ma­te­ri­als – pro­vided the start­ing points for the de­sign of the ori­en­ta­tion sys­tem. Moni­teurs’ idea was that the ar­ti­sans of Planet Mod­u­lor should be in­volved in the cre­ation process.

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.

Das Auf­bau Haus ver­bin­det die Krea­ti­v­in­dus­The 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.
