ARCHITECTURE

ENGINEERING
A
mul:disciplinary
office
dedicated
to
planning,
crea:ng
and
implemen:ng
projects
of
architecture,
urbanism
and
design.
We
say
IMAGINAL,
in
order
to
give
visibility
and
freedom
to
the
imaginaIon.
IMA
(in
English
MAGNET)
with
the
aim
of
puUng
together
many
professionals
related
to
the
crea:ve
process:
from
architecture
to
engineering,
from
art
to
design,
from
technology
to
innova:on.

3. ATMOSPHERE
BASED
ON
THE
HUMAN
Scale
of
sensory
percepIons.
Scale
of
social
mee:ngs
We
believe
that
a
human-­‐scaled
space
is
the
path
to
encapsulate
beauty
and
simplicity.

5. HOLY
HOUSE
OF
MERCY
Juiz
de
Fora
–
Minas
Gerais.
Philanthropic
hospital.
Founded
in
1854.
15
floors
-­‐
first
verIcal
hospital
in
LaIn
America.
508
beds.
3.000
people
circulate
in
the
complex
per
day.
18.000
surgical
operaIons
are
done
per
year.
70%
for
the
Brazilian
Public
Healthcare
System
(SUS).
For
us
the
most
important
thing
to
remember
in
a
large-­‐scale
complex
is
to
not
lose
the
human
scale
and
the
major
design
challenge
is
to
master
the
urban,
architecture
or
design
scales.

6. DETAIL
AS
A
KEY
WORD
Having
“the
detail”
as
a
keyword,
for
each
work,
we
were
learning
how
to
approach
the
architecture
on
a
human
scale.
The
goal
was
always
to
awaken
the
playful
in
a
rigorous
and
complex
hospital
environment.

FOCUS
ON
THE
PATIENT
The
most
important
aim
of
the
architecture
is
the
crea:on
of
an
atmosphere
inside
and
outside
the
building
that
helps
the
pa:ent
to
recover
as
quickly
as
possible
and
to
make
the
stay
as
pleasant
as
possible.

9. HUMANIZATION
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR

10. CURIOSITY
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
The
idea
is
to
arouse
curiosity
of
those
who
experience
the
architecture.
The
drawings,
for
example,
are
located
in
places
where
they
are
not
evident,
the
pa:ent
will
discover
them.
The
forms
are
not
clear,
they
insIgate
sensiIve
imaginaIon.

HUMANIZATION

13. NATURAL
LIGHT
ALL
OVER
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
Architecture
is
especially
the
spa:al
experience
that
people
undergo
in
buildings;
the
rela:onship
with
the
outside
for
us
is
crucial.
We
are
always
interested
in
light,
daylight,
the
light
on
things;
it
gives
the
feeling
that
there
is
something
behind
all
understanding.

15. MEETING
SPACE
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
The
boulevard
is
not
just
a
circula:on
area
but
also
a
public
space.
A
“between
space”
where
you
can
just
stay
to
look
outside,
to
talk
with
other
pa:ents
or
just
to
have
a
coffee.
A
space
for
socialising,
mee:ng
places
for
groups,
family
and
friends.
Den Bosh Hospital, Netherlands.

16. THE
BOULEVARD
IDEA
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
This
year
we
started
the
first
ideas
to
build
a
Holy
House
of
Mercy
Hospital
extension.
Our
main
idea
is
to
create
a
big
boulevard
that
connects
to
the
hospital.
This
space
can
give
the
visitors,
staff
and
pa:ents
a
clear
sense
of
spaIal
direcIon.

17. WAYFINDING
DESIGN
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
Encompasses all of the ways in which people orient themselves
in physical space and navigate from place to place.

18. BEFORE
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR

19. BETWEEN
SPACE
You
can
stay
to
cast
a
quick
glance
outside,
to
talk
with
other
pa:ents
or
just
to
read
a
book.

20. www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
WAYFINDING
DESIGN
ORIENTATION
is
the
alempt
to
determine
one's
loca:on,
in
rela:on
to
objects
that
may
be
nearby
and
the
desired
des:na:on.

21. www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
WAYFINDING
DESIGN
Modern
wayfinding
has
begun
to
incorporate
research
on
why
people
get
lost,
how
they
react
to
signage
and
how
these
systems
can
be
improved.

22. www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
TECNOLOGY
AND
LOGISTICS
TECNOLOGY
and
LOGISTICS
are
incorporated
so
that
they
func:on
op:mally
but
do
not
dominate
the
atmosphere
of
the
interior
space.

BEHIND
THE
SCENES
The
first
impression
of
the
refurnishing
should
be
that
it
was
easy
to
be
done,
and
is
simple
and
beau:ful.

LUDIC
SPACES
Due
to
the
objec:vity
of
:me
on
surgeries
as
well
as
the
rela:vity
of
:me
in
pa:ent
recovery,
we
decided
to
enhance
this
concept
by
crea:ng
different
clocks
in
which
the
exercise
of
seeing
:me
becomes
subjec:ve,
distrac:ng
the
pa:ent
from
focusing
on
their
pain.

30. AN
INTEGRATED
APPROACH
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
Since
the
first
ideas
and
desires
of
doctors,
nurses
and
boards
directors
right
up
un:l
the
units
had
started
work.
We
have
an
architecture
office
inside
the
hospital
and
we
work
together
with
the
engineers
and
the
construc:on
team.
We
are
immersed
in
the
construcIon
site
and
in
the
hospital
ambience.

32. THINKING
PROCESS

PRODUCT
www.IMAGINAL.com.BR

33. www.IMAGINAL.com.BR
(…)
what
I
am
designing
will
be
part
of
a
place,
part
of
its
surroundings,
used
and
loved,
discovered
and
bequeathed,
given
away,
abandoned,
and
perhaps
even
hated
-­‐
in
short,
that
it
will
be
lived
in,
in
the
wildest
sense.”
Peter
Zumthor.

TAKE
UNCERTAINTY
AS
THE
ONLY
CERTAINTY
The
only
certainty
we
have
is
that
the
human
scale
will
always
be
essen:al
in
architecture
and
in
promo:ng
the
speedy
recovery
of
the
pa:ent.
Human
scale
will
always
be
the
challenge
of
architecture.

36. OUTTAKES
FROM
THE
PROCESS
How
the
aging
populaIon
impacts
on
hospital
seUngs?
How
telemedicine
impacts
in
reducing
hospital
beds?
Why
corridors
are
open
narrow
and
monotonous
and
can
give
rise
to
common
areas
for
paIents
and
visitors
to
meet,
as
a
living
room?
How
natural
light
is
u:lised
throughout
the
history
of
architecture
and
can
drive
design
decisions
inside
a
hospital?
