What comes-up to your mind once you hear “Iconic World Structures”?
Iconic World Structures is a very common term we use in our industry and the first thing comes to my mind is the phenomenal venues and structures that Mankind have managed to build and operate.
How do you see Iconic World Structures related to Sports Venues globally and locally as you are working at the leading aspire sport city?
Some of the Sports venues built are Iconic World structures locally and internationally such as Aspire Dome / Singapore sports Hub / Wembley stadium and many other sports venues around the world.
What are the challenges you are facing when you have an event into iconic sport venue like Aspire Sports Hall?
In any Major Venue around the world there will always be challenges when it comes to major events depending on the event nature itself the challenges may vary (sports Events, Non-sports events Exhibitions conferences ect..) you may have challenges logistically mainly and operationally, broadcast issues for example usually are the most common issues in major venues, temporary structures and modifications within the venue also sometimes could be an issue.
