THE PART OF THE WORK
THAT DOESN'T FIT
IN A CV.
Short essays and observations from venues, projects and sport. Not project reports: ideas that recur across different operating environments.
A VENUE IS NOT A BUILDING.
The building is the container. The venue begins when people, flows, sport, services and decisions become one operating environment.
A VENUE IS A VILLAGE.
For a few weeks, a temporary professional community appears inside a building. The challenge is to make different functions behave as one system.
TREAT IT AS IF IT WERE YOURS.
Permanent facility responsibility changes the way you look at every temporary venue: costs, consequences, continuity and the condition you leave behind.
THE VENUE CHANGES WHEN THE GAMES START.
Preparation is built through plans and readiness. Games time is people, flows, escalation and decisions in real time.
THE EVENT IS NOT OVER WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT.
Reset, dismantling, reinstatement and handover are not an appendix to delivery. They are the final part of it.
