ARCHITECTURE DESIGN 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.

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

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.

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.

HUMANIZATION

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.

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.

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.

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.

WAYFINDING DESIGN

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.

Modern wayfinding has begun to incorporate research on why people get lost, how they react to signage and how these systems can be improved.

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.

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.

(…) 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.

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?
