Arquitetura Moderna X Contemporânea: a transição notada da Arquitetura Palmense observada nas obras da arquiteta Joseísa Martins Vieira Furtado

This article intends to make a broad survey of the works, performance and perspectives of the architect Joseísa Martins Vieira Furtado, who arrived in the period of expansion of the main works of the new capital created at the end of the 20th century, aiming at her contribution to this transition process. Although the architect arrived in 1999, a decade after the creation of the city, she carried out outstanding works in that period, such as the renovation of the Palácio do Araguaia, the Guarita do Palácio, the Official Government Residence and the Public Ministry of the State of Tocantins. His works show the monumentality of modern architecture, the use of materials characteristic of the style such as reinforced and prestressed concrete, glass and steel, as well as constructive details such as lined windows, covered terraces, free floor plan and rationalism. In this way, the work is developed through bibliographical survey, personal biography, field research and interviews. Which allows us to clarify the issue of relating modern architecture present in the city of Palmas in the Contemporary period, or even described by some authors as Post-modern, a condition that is linked to the references experienced and brought by the period in which architects as Furtado overcame, a period marked by a very important and pragmatic transition: the end of an era and the beginning of another.
