ZusammenKUNFT Berlin

ZUsammenKUNFT Berlin is a cooperative organization dedicated to community-oriented urban development. Founded by a diverse group of city-makers, artists, and social activists, the organization aims to create affordable and inclusive spaces for living, working, and cultural activities. Their approach is characterized by a collaborative and participatory process, involving local residents, artists, and various stakeholders in the development of urban projects. One of the organization's most notable projects is the redevelopment of the Haus der Statistik, a former administrative building in the heart of Berlin. This project, undertaken in collaboration with the city administration and other partners, seeks to transform the 50,000 square meter building into a mixed-use space that includes social housing, studios for artists, and community facilities. The goal is to create a vibrant and inclusive urban environment that serves the needs of diverse communities. ZUsammenKUNFT Berlin's work is guided by a commitment to the common good and a belief in the power of collective action. The organization's members, including figures like Leona Lynen and Matthias Einhoff, bring a range of expertise and perspectives to the table, from urban planning and architecture to art and social activism. Through their projects, they aim to set a new standard for urban regeneration, one that prioritizes community engagement, affordability, and social inclusivity. By fostering a collaborative approach to urban development, ZUsammenKUNFT Berlin seeks to create a more equitable and sustainable urban environment for all.
