Different architectural elements will be used to achieve this objective:
the use of natural light
the organization of space
the use of crossed visuals or warm-colored materials

All the above are creative elements generated and organized by the discipline of architecture in order to provide a solution to the symptomatology and evolution of Dementia, improving the patients quality of life.
