Team Dis+Ko is a collective of eight landscape architects and architects based in Berlin, Germany, formed in 2019 through a collaborative master's thesis experiment at TU Berlin.1 The group emphasizes discourse, cooperation, experimentation, self-organization, urban policy, architecture, sustainability, and challenging conventions through drawing, building, storytelling, and collective learning.1
Their key activities involve developing spatial projects beyond conventional planning and construction methods, often in partnership with local actors, networks, and experts.2 Projects include visionary concepts for Berlin's cemeteries, such as repurposing 1,095 hectares of closed burial grounds and "overhang areas" (as of 2024), rounded to 400 hectares for innovative uses.8 This work aligns with sustainable housing and affordable space strategies by rethinking underutilized urban land for community-oriented, eco-friendly designs that promote longevity and adaptability in dense cities like Berlin.18
Geographically, Team Dis+Ko operates locally in Berlin, focusing on city-specific challenges like cemetery redevelopment and urban experimentation.128 No key individuals are named in available sources; the collective operates without highlighted leaders.1 Their approach supports affordable and sustainable housing indirectly by advocating non-traditional, resource-efficient spatial solutions that could inform cooperative housing models amid Berlin's housing pressures.
