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 re verse, the stilts.
