The call by the Provincial Council of Granada for this competition was aimed at providing the province of Granada, due to its deficit in this type of infrastructure with the whole of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, with a reference building, social and emblematic, in which to deepen both the detection and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The building would be called Centro Granadino del Alzheimer – CGA.

Traditionally, hospitals and nursing homes have been characterized by cold, dark and dehumanized environments, with narrow and endless artificially lit corridors, making it difficult for the patient to have contact with the outside world.

The proposal paid special attention to a very direct relationship of the most public rooms with the outdoor spaces, characterized by the presence of the nearby vegetation of the park and the distant views of Sierra Nevada, favoring the creation of emotional ties with the place. Its more functional comb structure would link its more public program with the park, and the residential-care facility with the interior of the block.

In the outdoor spaces the proposal proposes to unite the different actions through a continuous landscape marked by a strong picturesque character. The main objective was to make the boundaries between the different fragments of the property less evident, by manipulating the topography and vegetation, thus allowing the construction of open-air rooms within a relationship of continuity.

Species with different flowering periods would be combined to emphasize their mutability with aromatic species in the access area and in the park next to a Therapeutic Garden.
