What is the potential of the void? For architect Carlos M. Teixeira, it is a field of study, work, and fascination that has been explored for over two decades. This sensitive perspective on the possibilities of the unbuilt gave rise to the book Em obras: história do Vazio em Belo Horizonte, the second, revised and expanded edition of which is hitting bookstores. The launch will take place on August 13 at 10:30 AM at Livraria da Rua, in the capital of Minas Gerais. In the publication, the author proposes a new approach to cities, focusing not on buildings, but on potential spaces for reimagining how people relate to the urban environment, understanding public space as a field for social transformation.
Art, harmony, and construction: a new architecture book lists 16 steps to create spectacular buildings. From aesthetic reflections to detail-rich projects, the work is a theoretical-practical manual being launched in Curitiba and São Paulo. Architecture happens at the intersection of aesthetics and construction; in the delicate balance between art and engineering. Every architectural decision reflects a specific period, a sense of belonging, and a constant invitation to go beyond what already exists.
