Vazio S/A mixes practice and research. Ours is a position both active (we ourselves as clients) and passive (designing for the private and the public sector): a vision where informality, urban voids, and the market itself can work as triggers of new projects and opportunities. To conventional commissions (houses, commercial buildings, etc) we associated experimentation through researches, architectural contests, partnerships with artists and social groups, publications, and ephemeral urban interventions that investigate new relations between contemporary culture and architecture.
