smaq
office for architecture |landscape | urbanism SMAQ designs environments. Within a reality of interwoven and counteracting components: buildings, landscapes and infrastructures SMAQ’s tactical insertions intensify modes of inhabiting the urban. SMAQ’s projects actively reflect the ecologies of the site. ‘DotsAndLoops’ and ‘Isotop’, for example, transformatively map the conditions found and emerge as permeable systems that recondition the given aggregate. Procedures of negotiation - like in the ‘Sarajevo Concert Hall’ design – generate architecture as the missing link between opposing components within the range of requirements and demands. In fully engaging the context, they are local catalytic interventions releasing potentials on a larger scale. SMAQ’s methods mesh the elastic thinking of diagrammatic relations with the physicality of precise volumetric and material definition. In the ‘NdokZ’ project the resulting flux between field and object sets free a joyful multidimensional spatiality. Since the exploration of the matter ‘site’ is understood as an integral part of SMAQ’s practice, the uncovering of spatial parameters beyond pure phenomenological categories has become a driving force for many of the works. Projects like ‘Highway Housing’ utilise the capacities to work with dependencies and motion within computer-aided delineation. The development of instruments to reveal trajectories of change and magnitudes of influence is subject of SMAQ’s investigating activities. SMAQ’s work has been recognised and awarded with the Egon Eiermann Award in 2000 and the Hans Schaefers Award in 2001 among others. In several international competitions SMAQ received prizes including Europan 5 in 1998 (runner up), the Sarajevo Concert Hall Competition in 1999 (honourable mention) and Europan 6 in 2001 (1st prize). Recently, the work has been published in deArchitect (Netherlands), Arquitectura Viva (Madrid), Wettbewerbe Aktuell (Germany). The Europan 6 winning competition entry ‘DotsAndLoops’ is currently in the process of being implemented.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Astounding Mug. I found this Mug in a dark time, the time when I needed a mug the most. I went onto google.net and found this truly amazing piece of craftsmanship. Manny Heffley came out of my computer and started to gyrate, before hopping out completely and eating my asshole. It felts so good, I started shaking and moaning, rapidly convulsing on the floor. Manny Heffley slowly crawled into my, hiding in my womb in order to store his power for 12 months and evolve to the form of "Baby 2". Thank you, Urban Dictionary. This mug changed my life.
Looks great and quick delivery
very good quality, wasn’t broken or anything and was a good gag gift !
I gave it to her today. And she loved it said it was her to the T
The Printing wasn't very sharp, but it's good enough.
It was a surprise gift for someone and she absolutely loved it!
This was sent as a gift to my grandson, who lives in another state, so I never saw it. However I asked him as follows: "Just checking ... their request for a review shows an aquamarine mug ... it was supposed to be purple (eggplant, they called it). Was it purple?" Then he said: "It was purple! And thank you I love it haha Sent from my iPhone"
Shipment arrived quickly and in great condition. I know my custom mug will be a crowd pleaser when my girlfriend opens it up for Xmas.
Soaking is my favorite activity, glad I got a mug for it 😙
It DIDNT break :D
so happy you were able to put my unique word "Obergrossescheinehund" onto the new yellow mug. The yellow mug and black print make it easy for the words to be seen.
This is made by my friend i love it
Imagine not buying one of these. 🤢🗑🤡= non-buyer. Couldn't be me. 😎
It was the best thing I could have asked for
I mollywopped someone with it and it didn’t break. Nice
Product was as advertised and arrived pretty quickly too! The person loved their gift!
The "Pink Flamingo" colour with white text on a pink background is the best selection for this fine phrase mug. May I suggest you also correct the misspelling of "delightfully" in the default option for a timeless gift.
As always, a great gift.
It looks great. I couldn't have been happier
It’s a mug I would never find in a souvenir shop. I’m a legend in my own home.
