The Architizer A+Awards is an annual architectural awards program that recognises and celebrates the best architecture and spaces from around the world. It's the largest awards program of its kind, focused on promoting and celebrating the year's best architecture and spaces.
The Positive Impact Award celebrates building products that do good for the environment or society as a whole. Eligible products include products that are designed to be accessible to communities of all socio-economic contexts, products that are expressly non-harmful to people and the environment, or the product of a business model with humanitarian or other socially ethical goals.
The WuduMate Classic is central to WuduMate's range of footbaths and accessories for the Muslim pre-prayer ablution ritual of wudu. This model enables the safe, hygienic, comfortable, and dignified performance of wudu by adults and children and, like every WuduMate model, can be configured with some level of accessibility for disabled users.
WuduMate has always listened attentively to its customers around the world, thereby improving design and manufacturing in order to arrive at excellent product functionality and quality. The Classic started life as The Commercial in 2008. This product design, while innovative, was just the beginning of the development of today's CSA certified Classic, whose design improves the user's experience through its great attention to ergonomic detail.
The WuduMate Classic has proven its suitability for a wide variety of settings but has had the most positive impact in commercial buildings throughout the world. Clients often follow the advice given in "Diversity Matters - A Guide to Best Practice Multi-Faith Room Design" to involve all potential users of the space, whether they are of any particular faith or none. This fosters mutual understanding and respect and helps all employees to feel welcome, regardless of their background or beliefs.
Positive feedback from happy staff demonstrates that the inclusion of a WuduMate Classic "...eliminates the awkwardness of performing pre-prayer ablution in public bathrooms" and that people are "proud to work for a company that is committed to making everyone feel welcome.
