Today more than ever, finding the right alternatives to promote sustainability is essential. Current and future architectural trends are increasingly global, ecological, and inclusive. Developing buildings based on sustainable practices is one of the key challenges for the architects of tomorrow to reduce conventional energy demand, mitigate environmental impact, and preserve the quality of life of their occupants.
Sustainable building goes beyond the proper use of materials and strategies to construct a green property. It is about fostering the well-being of its occupants while reducing the environmental footprint of their daily activities within the space.

What is the potential of the void? For architect Carlos M. Teixeira, it is a field of study, work, and fascination that he has explored for over two decades. This sensitive perspective on the possibilities of the unbuilt environment gave rise to the book Em Obras: História do Vazio em Belo Horizonte, the second, revised and expanded edition of which hits shelves this month. In this publication, Teixeira proposes a new approach to cities, focusing not on buildings, but on spaces with the potential to rethink how people relate to the urban environment, viewing public space as a field for social and environmental transformation.
