The images in this article were taken in Kazembe, Zambia. There, together with our local partner, the PATRIZIA &amp; Marks Technical Secondary School is being built \u2013 a new place for education, care and future opportunities for children and young people.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-268001 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/kazembe-bau-5-1024x361.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/kazembe-bau-5-980x345.png 980w, https:\/\/www.patrizia.foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/kazembe-bau-5-480x169.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Making Construction Progress Visible Through Digital Technology<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>Using a special camera and OpenSpace\u2019s image-based platform, the construction sites are captured and documented digitally at regular intervals.
