Description: The book is an invitation to explore the city of Palmas, its avenues, monuments, places and other spaces through the critical analysis of a writing produced from the meeting of an architect-urbanist with history. "The capital of Tocantina, in the pages of the book of the young architect & historian Patricia Orfilia, becomes a kaleidoscope of projects by architects, urban planners, governors. They try to invent traditions, discipline space, create myths and "form the soul" of their citizens. But as a kaleidoscope, the city reflects light and changes with every turn of time, showing transgressive spaces of everyday resistance. The author also rotates her kaleidoscope and analyzes the fragments of the sun's reflections of the "cerrado" (tropical savanna occupying much of central Brazil)".(HKB Translation) --Page [15]
