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.

On December 15 at 7:00 PM, Monolito will launch its new book featuring Cité Arquitetura.
Launch event for the first published book by architect and artist Natália Barros: "Ensaios do corpo no lugar de morar" [Essays on the body in the place of dwelling], which investigates dwelling in confinement and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the relationship between the body and architecture. The book is an extension of the final undergraduate project (TCC) presented by the author at the School of Architecture of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in 2020. The project was selected by ArchDaily as one of the best of 2020 and received an Artistic-Cultural Research award under the Aldir Blanc Law. Throughout the pages, the reader explores the discussion on the effects of the global pandemic experience on how spaces are conceived and built, as well as the contribution of art as an alternative and creative outlet. Grounded in a phenomenological approach and drawing from dance, scenography, visual arts, and technology, the book proposes new ways of thinking about and practicing architecture.
The skin sees, the eye thinks. Space—and therefore place—is perceived through all the senses. What influences this perception? How can the senses be stimulated to think and, in doing so, open new perspectives of perception?
We aim to experience, capture, and understand this mutual influence in an experimental, playful, and unique way: a sensitive representation of the history of Presidente Prudente: THE THINKING SENSES.
