Kö-Bogen II
Kö-Bogen 2 impresses with Europe's largest green facade and high-tech "MediaWall"
Innovation and sustainability in the heart of Düsseldorf
Green architectural wonder in the center of Düsseldorf
Europe’s largest green façade is presented in the heart of Düsseldorf at the Kö-Bogen 2 business and office complex. For the business and office building, which is currently Europe’s largest green facade with more than 30,000 hornbeam hedge plants, we have developed a 70-meter-long “MediaWall”, which is concealed behind the building’s glass façade and has a surface area of 350 square meters. This innovative media installation is not only designed with a special focus on careful building cleaning, but is also a symbol of sustainability and technological progress.
The transformation of Schadowstrasse
Schadowstrasse, which is located in the middle of this urban hub, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation that will transform it into a car-free shopping mile. Here, along the northern Königsallee in the city center district, you will find a variety of stores, department stores, cafés, restaurants and flagship stores of well-known brands. This dynamic environment attracts a wide range of visitors, from business people to shoppers and tourists.
A commitment to environmental friendliness paired with state-of-the-art technology
Streamliner - Technological pioneer
Thanks to its 8-millimeter pixel pitch, the 67.2-meter-wide and 4.32-meter-high LED wall achieves impressive detail, allowing for a compelling display of images and videos even from a great distance. But the LED wall isn’t just impressive in terms of image quality—it also sets new standards for efficiency. Thanks to its state-of-the-art technology, it has low power consumption, making it not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective to operate.
A modern LED control system ensures the perfect display of advertising content. Intelligent analysis of the light sensors—which are also connected to the control system—automatically adjusts the brightness of the LED wall to match the ambient light levels. This ensures optimal visibility at all times and prevents any disruption to the surrounding environment.
Customized integration and ease of maintenance of LED walls in modern architecture
Intelligent monitoring and control of media installations
Comprehensive software on the media server, combined with a PLC control system, monitors and controls all functions of the media installation. These range from temperature monitoring of the LED cabinets, to automatic brightness adjustment based on ambient light levels, to an emergency shutdown in the event of smoke detection or overheating.
Since the LED wall is installed in an enclosed space, a special ventilation system was developed to ensure optimal air circulation and heat dissipation. For added operational safety, the entire system is equipped with camera surveillance to provide a comprehensive overview at all times.
Because the LED wall was installed in the building at a later stage, the challenge was to ensure it blended seamlessly with the building’s architectural design. Therefore, the installation did not take place on the facade; instead, it was precisely positioned on a ceiling-mounted track behind the glass facade. Another important consideration for the client was easy access to the glass surfaces to allow for cleaning. To this end, individual elements of the LED wall can be separated from one another and then moved.
