From gothic to modern, the rehabilitated One Spadina building establishes a dialogue between the past and present. The envelope of the historic structure is upgraded to increase thermal resistance, while the new addition combines a range of measures to demonstrate responsible resource consumption, with design strategies maximizing fresh air ventilation, effective day lighting, and stormwater harvesting.

A business incubator encourages enterprise back into the area and stimulates economic and social activity in the neighborhood; both scarce resources. An additional benefit was the use of local workers for developing many of the tasks – some were former inhabitants of dwellings that collapsed in the neighborhood.

The rubble was removed and the new design uses paths formed by townsfolk crossing this urban fracture. Due to low rainfall and water availability, the town also lacked green spaces: so the rehabilitation program included rainwater collection, gray water filtration and purification ponds to provide sufficient water supply for the plant life incorporated into the project.

A heavy snowfall in Cehegín 🇪🇸 caused a landslide that destroyed a cluster of houses on a steep embankment in the old quarter. A project to rehabilitate the area in both economic and botanical means has now been implemented, creating a water-conserving public park.

Ram did not see a future in his rural village in Rajasthan, so he sought to build his skills with the Ambuja Cement Foundation. Thanks to the practical skills he developed, he has now started a promising career. Through our skills development program in India, we have trained over 63,000 young people from rural communities, and helped build over 17,000 entrepreneurs since 2006. #socialimpact #socialchange #eductaion #communities #initiative #globalimpact
