Ode to the Void

by Carlos Teixeria

English, 2016

The second book of the collection “Latin America: Thoughts” presents Carlos Teixeira’s texts written between 1999 and 2015, previously published in Vitruvius, architecture portal in Brazil. This republication is not a simple collection, but rather a curated selection that defines a coherent and articulate narrative with texts previously isolated, illuminating some simple themes - social segregation, spatial fragmentation, car-oriented urbanism - and some unusual ones- the grass, the void, the reverse, the stilts.
