PAGE 5 Temporary vs legacy Quick response and turnaround for assembling and dismantling ( ex: Use of Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre in Sydney) Temporary overlay is the software working with the legacy (hardware). Very low capital expenditure requirements if hired No post events maintenance required ( ex: Dining Room used for the Olympic village in Sydney) Flexibility in its use and impact on the environment ( ex: Equestrian centre in Athens delayed due to major archaeological discovery on site) Customising the needs of the event ( ex: Medal Plaza in Salt Lake City) Less constraints in the temporary regulations versus the building regulations ( ex: width of temporary seats platform of cm in permanent facilities against width as low as 60 cm in temporary grandstands thus increasing the seating capacity on the same surface area by more than 25%) Extra source of revenue ( ex: Temporary seats are directly linked to the income stream from ticketing: Sponsor and Prestige villages at the World Cup of Soccer launch, Opening ceremony in Salt Lake City)
