SMAQ is an internationally operating studio for architecture, urbanism and research founded by Sabine Müller and Prof. Andreas Quednau, established 2001 in Rotterdam, operating since 2005 from Berlin.
SMAQ is looking at the city as inclusive to infrastructural and landscape contexts and their everyday usages. SMAQ’s approach to design is based on a concept of continuity in urbanism, landscape, architecture and interior. SMAQ conceives the built environment as a product reacting to and acting within an extensive field of forces. The projects aim at intensifying existing environments and unfold social relevance in offering diversity and permeability. The deployment of integrative morphologies and tectonics provide our architecture with the capacity to productively negotiate contradictions of the contemporary city while vitally challenging spatial conventions.
SMAQ’s projects include masterplans for the urban regeneration of the harbor area in Magdeburg, Germany as science quarter, for the regeneration of the suburban center Grorud in Oslo, Norway as well as for a sustainable development for 7000 inhabitants in Dubai. SMAQ’s work has been presented at the International Architecture Biennials in Miami, Rotterdam and Venice and has received, among other awards, the prestigious AR Award for Emerging Architecture, the German Facade Award and the Holcim Award for Sustainable Construction.
