Special thanks to Jackson Hunt, Head of Design, The Building Centre, for inviting Architen Landrell to participate in We Made 2012. We Made 2012 celebrated venues of the Olympic Games and those that contributed to make it happen. Architen helped deliver both the Water Polo Venue and the Aquatics Centre.
Yesterday, The Building Centre hosted a session on the use of Temporary Venues during London 2012. We heard interesting presentations on the challenges associated with temporary venues and whether its better to redeploy or recycle post Games.
