Written between 1999 and 2015, the texts in this book were previously published in the Vitruvius online journal. This republication, however, is not a simple collection, but a compilation of essays that seeks to provide synergy to texts once isolated and that here define a more coherent and articulated narrative.
The more incisive of them is “The True Nature of BrasÍlia,” a praise to the cerrado (a Brazilian savannah) and a dreamlike reverse way of seeing the city: Brasília did not conquer the cerrado – on the contrary, the cerrado has conquered the city (or it is about to conquer it). Despite the Pilot Plan’s superquadras begging for more architectural substance, what actually happens is that the voids are much more eloquent than the solids: it is a sparse city amid of a sea of grass that should be reconsidered by the potential of these ignored weeds, which are the insidious and real protagonists of that landscape.
The book is a joint publication of Romano Guerra Editora (São Paulo, Brazil) and Nhamerica Platform (Austin, United States) and is part of the Latin America: Thought series, coordinated by Abilio Guerra, Fernando Lara and Silvana Romano.
The first issue is sold out since 04/2019; new edition will be available shortly.

At once a fiction and a documentary about a skyscraper that grows indefinitely and eventually eliminates Sao Paulo, The Ultimate Skyscraper (or The Absolute Condominium) departs from an analysis of “SP Maharishi Tower” – the Dravidian-style (!!!) would-be tallest building in the world proposed by the Beatles ex-guru Yogi Maharishi for Sao Paulo in 1999; to then distort and pervert the facts. The book has drawings by Portuguese illustrator Vasco Mourão, and text, research and original sketches by Carlos M Teixeira. In Portuguese only.

Entre explores the multidisciplinary approach used by Vazio S/A across a range of areas such as architecture, urban design and landscape design. In Portuguese “entre”, the word for “in-between”, conjures up connotations that far exceed its English equivalent. Indeed the ‘in-between’ explored in this book is a more abstract and farreaching notion: physical, spatial and temporal. By retaining the Portuguese term in this new English edition, Entre signals Vazio S/A’s indebtedness to Brazilian culture and seeks to keep intact this original notion, for which there seems to be no satisfactory English translation.
Entre explores our multidisciplinary approach by featuring a selection of projects from Spiral Booths exhibited in 2010 as part of “Architects Build Small Spaces” at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, through to the installation at the 29th Sao Paulo International Art Biennial,” The Other, the Same”. The projects are vividly conveyed via photographic documentations of the installations as well as structural diagrams and plans and substantiated through a series of contributions by architectural journalists and practitioners, as well as interviews and direct interventions by Carlos Teixeira.

Under Construction: History of the Void in Belo Horizonte is an essay on urban informality, lack of planning, the postcard, photography and, of course, the void. Departing from a text on photography (Photography and the Periphery, Master’s Degree dissertation) presented at the Architectural Association, the book outlines a possible way of working in the city under construction, extolling destruction, leading to an inverted aesthetic reading of the postcard and paying attention to the latent voids of the city. This bilingual edition is out of print.

Excerpts of reviews on History of the Void in BH
“Carlos Teixeira’s book about ‘no-place’ – Belo Horizonte, Brazil – is a compelling artifact that reveals all the magic and complexity involved in the making of a modern city. The presence of a soul. The warmth of a culture, a passion for expression – in the void of history. This beautifully designed document reveals all contradictions on the surface, a work of mysterious layers that reflect the ambivalence of inhabiting the heart of Minas Gerais.”
Alberto Perez-Gomez, History & Theory Graduate Program, School of Architecture, McGill University
“Um livro como esse, cheio de ambivalências e ‘irresponsabilidades’, ajuda a nos comprometer com o futuro que se desenha a nossos pés.”
João Paulo, Estado de Minas
“[O livro é] resultado de uma intensa pesquisa histórica e documental, que tem por objetivo defender uma tese precisa: a de que a melhor maneira de preservar a qualidade de vida de metrópoles intensamente povoadas e exploradas de forma desorganizada é preservar os poucos vazios existentes.”
Maria Hirszman, O Estado de São Paulo

The bilingual edition presents fifteen projects by architects, designers and artists, and argues for an architecture that scapes from the institutional channels that limit contemporary architecture.
