The new Day Care Center for People with Alzheimer’s Disease in Benavente (Spain), arises from the aging of the region's population. The context and the functionality motivated the positioning of the building in the upper part of the plot, in order to facilitate a stratum of it to rotate and tear the slope to create a new plain area. Thus, a new line of the horizon is created, which not only symbolizes the synergy of the community in the face of this disease but also creates a dialogue with the landscape.
