Read in full
What each venue actually requires, read from its own documents.
Ten major exhibition venues, and the four things that decide whether a build starts on time: the approval deadline, the two-storey rules, the rigging limit and who is allowed to install it. Every figure is read from that venue’s own technical document, and where a venue publishes nothing, this says so instead of filling the gap.
