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 80-85 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)
