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.

Consequently, in our daily commutes, we notice the monumentality of its facades, often overlooking the fact that behind the large wooden doors lies what we have called "the heart of the Poblano house."
