Projects that heal: Viviane Teles studies the energy of surfaces when designing traduzido por: OPENROUTER

Viviane Teles brought one of the most curious proposals of CASACOR São Paulo 2026. The architect delved deep into studies of metaphysics to design Biobilheteria, a project aimed at promoting the well-being of the show's visitors. All the choices of shapes, materials and even colors were thought out according to the energetic frequency they transmit – and how these factors are capable of elevating people's energy.

The research by the professional from Rio Grande do Norte is based on the concept that all surfaces have a sound behavior capable of harmonizing, or not, with what is around them. The higher the vibrational frequency, the better. "Lower frequencies are related to lack of immunity and sadness. The higher the frequency, the more you harmonize. All projects should be designed based on this," she explains in an interview with CASACOR.

The healing power of projects

The architect is a scholar of bioarchitecture, biology, neuroarchitecture and metaphysics. These interests emerged after she was gifted the book Houses That Kill, by Roger de Lafforest, during university. At first, she avoided reading it, but the "scary title" remained in her thoughts. Direct contact came years later, and before she knew it, Viviane was already dedicating her professional pursuit to projects that heal their occupants.

"Ever since I was little, I've always been very curious. I observed many things and didn't understand why people didn't observe them too. So, my studies emerged from my need to understand the world around me. The more I study, the more curious I become – which is also a tool I use to improve my work," she says.

Project at CASACOR São Paulo 2026 reflects the power of shapes

Based on metaphysical principles, the professional designed her project at CASACOR São Paulo 2026 using the most suitable resources to ensure the welcoming of visitors upon arrival at the event. One of the central points was the choice of a circular format for the construction of the Biobilheteria. That's because this is the "most perfect and egalitarian geometric shape in nature", reaching a frequency close to that of humans.

"The geometric patterns that exist in nature repeat themselves in us, in plants, in animals and even in rocks. These shapes have a vibration, a wave frequency that we don't hear. What I presented at CASACOR is an eight-sided mandala. Its frequency is 800 Hz, while our body vibrates up to 900 or 1000 Hz. When we are involved in frequencies greater than or equal to ours, we can balance ourselves," she explains.

According to Viviane, the choice of the 800 Hz frequency is also related to the connection with our third eye (considered the sixth chakra, between the eyebrows). It is associated with the vision and intuition of visitors. The architect seeks to confirm the exact number through a measurement that will be carried out in the coming weeks.

Materials that are allies of human well-being (and which to avoid!)

By the same logic, construction materials also exert a direct influence on the inhabitants of the spaces. The architect defends a basic principle: the more natural, the better for well-being. These resources may vary according to environmental conditions, but Viviane mentions clay, sand, fiber and stone as the most recommended. Resins and natural paints also present high frequencies, being versatile options for different applications.

On the other hand, artificial materials, such as plastics, cement and nylon, have frequencies close to zero. "In short, industrialized materials don't work for us because they lose the natural properties that are compatible with us. We should avoid them or use them with great care. This also applies to processed foods and even to the fabrics of clothing," she adds.

Light tones raise our frequency

In addition, Viviane also considers the vibrations of colors when designing projects. She explains: "Colors are the incidence of natural light on surfaces, all of them have different wave frequencies. The strongest is white, which is the union of all colors. The least recommended is black. Neuroarchitecture talks a lot about this, but it is rarely used". At CASACOR São Paulo, for example, the architect's project is colored by earthy tones, especially light beige.

Habits and affections complete well-being

The chat with Viviane Teles comes to an end with a complex question: what about spaces already built, how to promote well-being without needing major renovations? However, the professional answers calmly:

"I would guide people to observe their own habits. A home is made of habits. So, we need to create an atmosphere so that they can develop their habits and live better. This requires a bit of psychological understanding, something that should be more present in our academic training," she defends.

In addition, the architect cites affective decoration as another powerful tool. According to her, pieces that bring memories serve as references. Furniture, paintings and small objects are capable of transforming projects and even "improving" those who occupy them.

Viviane's final message concerns the ability of architects to understand the world beyond architecture. "Designing the future requires that we as professionals start studying other areas. Our academic knowledge is not enough to understand what the human being is. Then, we need to introduce the metaphysical context into our work," she concludes.
