EdgeA

This building for publishing newspapers has to be a media center for the local community. It must express the media by itself. In this case, it must express a constant vitality throughout the day, which means to design time.

In the daytime, it looks like an impressive building covered in black luster under the sun. It has a sharp shape as if cut off from a geometric pattern and inserted into the site to become a symbol in the neighborhood. That remarkable impression also contributes to improve the quality of the work space.

At night, light emerges from the openings and the wall gets loomed in the darkness contrasting with the sheen effect during daylight. The lights from the interior represent the activity in the building which goes from morning to evening. The media is fresh information which is completely necessary for life and employees are responsible for delivering information. Therefore, the symbol of the media should be the building which designs time as mentioned, 24 hours a day.

We would like to design all things involved with this building as the delivery motorcycles, uniforms, helmets as well as in-house newsletters. If it is possible to design consistently all about the working environment, it would be a good way to show clearly how this company works for the community and lead to develop the company and also employees by showing their work style. This building we suggested is a lighthouse symbolizing time that always illuminates the community.
