    Population aging is one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century. According to the WHO (2025), the world's population over 60 years of age, which stood at 1 billion in 2020, will exceed 2.1 billion by 2050, of which approximately 426 million will be over 80 years old. The Sucre parish, in the Patate canton, reflects this trend, highlighting the need to implement a gerontological center that addresses the gaps identified in the parish's Territorial Development Plan (PDOT) and in the canton's planning instruments. This research is conducted using a qualitative approach with an exploratory scope and descriptive components. It analyzes the human, social, and spatial factors that influence the quality of life of older adults through observation of the environment, interviews with key stakeholders, document review, and analysis of theoretical and architectural references. The combined application of these techniques allows for the identification of needs, limitations, and potential within the context. The project proposes the architectural design of a Gerontological Day Center in the Sucre parish, focused on the well-being of older adults through the creation of inclusive, accessible, and therapeutic spaces. The facility is strategically located, with easy access and connections to existing amenities, and adapts to the topography and climatic conditions through a low-rise building organized around a central courtyard. The proposal incorporates criteria for universal accessibility, sustainability, and environmental comfort, integrating cross ventilation, solar control, visual connection with the landscape, and the use of local materials with efficient construction systems. Functionally, the complex is structured in blocks that group administrative, medical, therapeutic, social, and service areas, promoting active aging and strengthening community integration in a dignified and stimulating environment.

    Adaptive architecture and active aging maintain a close relationship, the present research aims to provide a comprehensive space that meets the specific needs of each older adult. The inductive and deductive methods were applied, along with a bibliographic review that made it possible to identify essential criteria for gerontological care, such as accessibility, safety, ergonomics, and spatial flexibility. These guidelines were complemented by semi-structured interviews conducted with key stakeholders, including medical staff, senior-care technicians, a parish board representative, and an external architect, this process played an important role in fostering social integration and provided first-hand insight into the needs of older adults. Additionally, case studies and a territorial diagnosis were carried out, considering geographic, demographic, and urban factors. The integration of these inputs revealed a significant correspondence between theoretical foundations and the real needs of the older population, establishing a solid methodological basis for the development of the preliminary design. The resulting proposal offers an adaptable and functional center organized by modular axes that structure public and private areas, as well as mobile elements that allow the spatial configuration to be modified according to the user activities. Likewise, the relationship between interior and exterior spaces is strengthened through therapeutic gardens, planters, and the use of traditional materials that reinforce local cultural identity. Finally, the project provides a contextual and technical solution aimed at promoting autonomy, social inclusion, and the overall wellbeing of older adults in Toacaso.

    This thesis project is focused on the architectural design of a Gerontological Center in the Atahualpa parish, located in the Ambato canton, Tungurahua province. The proposal aims to address the growing aging population in rural areas and provide a comprehensive solution for elderly individuals, promoting active aging and social inclusion. Atahualpa, a region with a high percentage of elderly population, faces limited access to adequate infrastructure for care and social participation, which increases vulnerability and isolation among the elderly. The proposed Gerontological Center is envisioned as a multifunctional space that not only provides medical care and support but also fosters autonomy, social interaction, and the emotional well-being of its users. The architectural design is based on principles that prioritize mobility, universal accessibility, and the integration of spaces for rest, recreation, and socialization, all tailored to the specific needs of the elderly population in this rural parish. The methodology employed in this study adopts a qualitative approach, involving a detailed territorial analysis, interviews with local stakeholders, and a diagnosis of the users' needs. Furthermore, the concept of active aging, as promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO), is incorporated, emphasizing the importance of elderly individuals' active participation in social, economic, and cultural life. This architectural proposal not only seeks to improve the quality of life for the elderly but also aims to create a replicable model for other rural areas in the country. Through this project, we seek to highlight the significance of inclusive architectural design that recognizes elderly individuals as active members of their communities, providing them with the spaces they need for a dignified and fulfilling old age.
