spmb is an art & architecture collaboration led by Eduardo Aquino that questions the traditions of practice through interdisciplinary strategies including architecture, urban design, public art, gallery projects, research, teaching, publishing, and any other means to instigate the public realm. spmb searches for situations where the project presents itself as an ongoing process of unfolding, where scale, context and materiality are dealt broadly to respond specifically to each found situation: in response. spmb is committed to creating a new understanding of public spaces, through strategies that are technologically adventurous, politically critical and socially responsible. Eduardo Aquino is author of Complex Order: Intrusions in Public Space, published by Plug In Editions in 2009. Aquino is professor at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Manitoba. http://www.spmb.ca
