Impa Tech
Identity
Impa Tech is a Brazilian college dedicated exclusively to teaching applied mathematics, led by IMPA, the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics. The institution was created to educate people capable of turning abstract reasoning into solutions for concrete problems, bringing academic excellence and social impact closer together. Its identity balances two temporalities: the solidity of an institution born with a classical vocation and the openness of a future-facing digital modernism. Mathematical thinking serves as the organizing principle throughout. Rather than illustrating mathematics, the identity incorporates its principles—repetition, variation, proportion, and organization—balancing academic rigor and technological culture without sacrificing clarity.
Created by RADDAR for the Chicago Architecture Biennial, Our Second Skin transforms more than 2,200 pieces of glass-manufacturing waste into a translucent skin. We developed the project’s visual identity and poster, seeking to graphically represent this relationship between transparency, opacity, surface, architecture, and transformation.
Pacto Visual 5 brings four international artists and four Brazilian artists together through nominations and interviews. The book investigates affinities, tensions, and ties to Brazil, turning another person’s gaze into a pact for new forms of closeness and possibility.
By Chance is a platform-artwork created to generate combinations and sets from keywords randomly drawn from collections created or curated by the artist. Like dice cast in a game of chance, these words follow specific instructions and reveal unexpected connections, opening paths for creative processes across different fields—from visual arts to education, music to literature.
Created by cinematographer Nicholas Bluff, Bluff Bounce develops reflectors for more natural lighting. We developed a precise, restrained graphic system inspired by the sensibility of someone who understands that lighting is also about choosing how to look.
