• Founder’s Memorial Launch Majlis Scenic Fabrication in Abu Dhabi

    Evolution Scenic custom scenic elements

    BUILDING TWO TEMPORARY MAJLIS ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE FOUNDER’S MEMORIAL LAUNCH


    The opening of The Founder’s Memorial in Abu Dhabi required a temporary environment suited to the significance of the occasion and the setting of the Emirates Palace lawn. Two large majlis structures were created, providing a combined covered area of 1,000 square metres and accommodating a complete programme of arrival, display, seating and hospitality.


    Evolution Scenic was responsible for the design, technical development, fabrication and installation of the two environments. The scope combined an I-Novation temporary structural system, ten-metre scaffold-supported façades, illuminated wooden mashrabiya, a 50-metre entrance ramp, 5.3-metre CNC-cut display panels and custom white furniture.


    The project was developed over an approximately two-month programme. Within that period, the structural enclosures, exterior architecture, interior scenery, lighting and furniture all needed to progress as parts of one coordinated temporary build. The scale of the work placed it much closer to temporary architecture than a conventional marquee fit-out, with the scenic elements defining the physical character of both majlis environments.

    DEVELOPING THE TWO MAJLIS STRUCTURES


    The I-Novation system established the principal enclosed volumes and fabric roofs of the two majlis structures. Evolution Scenic supplied and installed the temporary system before developing the scenic architecture around and within it.


    This underlying structure provided the weather-protected space, but it was never intended to remain as the visible identity of the project. The external elevations, entrance route and internal display features transformed the functional enclosure into a purpose-built ceremonial environment.


    The fabric roof incorporated rainwater drainage, allowing the structures to respond to possible rainfall while maintaining the covered interior. This requirement influenced the temporary architecture from the outset, because water management had to remain integrated with the roof geometry and structural arrangement.


    Internally, the large open spans created sufficient volume for tall display panels and extensive seating without making the spaces feel crowded. Externally, the temporary structures provided the base around which the ten-metre scenic façades could be developed. Each layer had a distinct function, but the completed environment depended on them aligning accurately and appearing as one considered structure.

    ENGINEERING THE TEN-METRE FAÇADES


    Ten-metre-high scaffold walls created the principal external elevations around the majlis structures. At this height, the façade system needed to maintain stable geometry across large areas while supporting timber cladding, integrated lighting and the repeated mashrabiya pattern.


    The scaffold provided the working structural framework, allowing the external architecture to rise well above the roofline of the primary enclosures. Custom wooden panels were then installed against this support system, concealing the functional construction and establishing the visible form.


    Repeated linear patterns are particularly sensitive to changes in level and spacing. A small variation in one section can become increasingly obvious when viewed across a long elevation, especially when the pattern is illuminated. Accurate setting-out and controlled panel fabrication were therefore central to the result.


    The façade construction also had to account for wind stability. Large areas of scenic cladding attached to a ten-metre support system create a different engineering condition from an open scaffold frame. The relationship between the supporting wall, timber panels and exposed surface area formed part of the technical development and confirmed HSSE planning.

    BUILDING THE BACKLIT MASHRABIYA


    The wooden mashrabiya panels were developed as illuminated scenic architecture rather than simple decorative screens. Their repeated pattern transformed the scaffold elevations into a refined architectural surface while allowing light to become part of the construction.


    Backlighting emphasised the linear geometry after dark, making the façades remain clearly defined across the Emirates Palace lawn. The position of the light sources, the depth of the panels and the spacing of the openings all influenced how evenly the pattern appeared.


    Integrated lighting works best when it is coordinated with the scenery before fabrication is complete. The panel construction needs to provide suitable cavities, fixing positions and cable routes, while the supporting framework must keep technical components away from the visible face.


    The same geometry continued through the entrance and interior areas, where illumination created patterned shadows across the floor and adjacent surfaces. This allowed the design to extend beyond the timber itself. The physical panel created one layer of detail, while the projected light created another.


    The result was a contemporary interpretation of mashrabiya construction that retained the warmth and repetition of the traditional pattern while operating as part of a large temporary façade system.

    FABRICATING THE INTERIOR DISPLAY PANELS


    Inside the majlis environments, a series of 5.3-metre-high display panels provided the principal scenic architecture. Fabricated from MDF and timber, the panels introduced vertical scale and divided the interiors into a sequence of defined spaces.


    CNC machining allowed the component profiles and repeated details to be produced accurately. This was particularly useful at 5.3 metres high, where small inconsistencies near the base could become increasingly visible across the full elevation.


    The panels were finished in custom white spray paint, creating a restrained and consistent surface across the MDF and timber construction. Their height allowed them to retain presence within the large open interiors without relying on heavy colour or complex material treatments.


    Rare photographs of Sheikh Zayed were integrated into the panels. The imagery became part of the architecture rather than being displayed through conventional freestanding frames or temporary graphic boards.


    This gave each panel a dual role. It presented important photographic content at a substantial scale while also organising the interior, establishing framed views and creating transitions between seating and circulation areas.

    CONSTRUCTING THE FIFTY-METRE ENTRANCE RAMP


    A 50-metre custom entrance ramp created the approach from the Emirates Palace lawn into the raised majlis interiors. Its length made it a substantial part of the environment rather than a simple access connection.


    The ramp needed to manage the transition between the surrounding ground level and the internal floor while continuing the visual language of the main structures. White scenic surfaces and illuminated linear panels extended along the route, creating a deliberate progression towards the covered environments.


    Long entrance structures require careful control of level, alignment and finish. Variations that appear minor over a short distance become more noticeable across 50 metres, particularly where continuous edges and lighting details guide the eye.


    The route also influenced the site logistics. Materials, structural components, tall panels and furniture all needed to reach the work areas without obstructing the final approach or damaging finished sections.


    The completed ramp linked access and scenic presentation within one structure. It performed the practical task of bringing people into the raised interior while becoming part of the visual arrival sequence rather than appearing as separate temporary infrastructure.

    PRODUCING FURNITURE AS PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT


    Evolution Scenic directly fabricated the custom white furniture installed within the two majlis interiors. Long upholstered seating elements defined the edges of the spaces, while low tables and supporting pieces established the internal arrangements.


    Producing the furniture within the same project scope allowed its dimensions, upholstery and finishes to be coordinated with the scenic panels and circulation routes. The pieces could be developed around the actual interior rather than selected independently and placed into the completed space.


    The furniture followed the restrained white palette of the scenic architecture. This allowed it to support the display panels and photographic content without competing for visual attention.


    Custom fabrication also provided control over the scale of the seating. Within a 1,000-square-metre combined environment, standard furniture could easily have appeared undersized or created an inconsistent arrangement. Longer pieces established clearer lines and helped organise the open interior.


    The relationship between furniture and scenery is often underestimated. Seating affects how people occupy the environment, how routes remain open and how the scenic panels are viewed. Developing both scopes together helped the completed majlis feel cohesive rather than furnished after the architecture had already been fixed.

    Evolution Scenic custom white furniture coordinated with large-scale interior scenic construction.

    INSTALLING WITHIN THE EMIRATES PALACE LAWN


    Restricted vehicle access across the Emirates Palace lawn shaped the delivery and installation strategy. The I-Novation structures, scaffold systems, façade panels, ramp sections, tall displays and furniture all required planned movement into their final work areas.


    The installation followed a coordinated structural sequence. The primary temporary systems established the covered volumes, followed by the ten-metre scaffold elevations. The wooden mashrabiya cladding and integrated lighting were then installed and aligned around the exterior.


    Inside, the 5.3-metre panels, photographic content and custom furniture were positioned once the principal structural work had progressed sufficiently to protect the completed finishes.


    Working at height formed a significant part of the façade installation. The ten-metre elevations required controlled access, safe working procedures and coordinated movement around partially completed structures. Wind stability, rainwater drainage, restricted logistics and final inspection were all included within the confirmed HSSE controls.


    The approximately two-month programme connected design development, workshop manufacturing and site installation. Progress in one area influenced the next, making coordination between technical information, fabrication readiness and site access essential throughout delivery.

    BRINGING STRUCTURE AND SCENERY TOGETHER


    The completed Founder’s Memorial launch environment combined temporary structural systems and scenic fabrication at architectural scale. Two majlis enclosures provided a combined 1,000 square metres of covered space, while the ten-metre façades gave the installation a strong external presence across the Emirates Palace lawn.


    Backlit wooden mashrabiya transformed the scaffold elevations into illuminated architecture. The 50-metre ramp created a considered entrance sequence, and the 5.3-metre CNC-cut panels brought rare photographic content into the interiors at a scale suited to the occasion. Custom white furniture completed the spatial arrangement without competing with the display architecture.


    The project depended on several layers working together. The I-Novation structures provided the enclosed volume, scaffold created the external height, timber panels established the visible façade and integrated lighting extended the pattern after dark. Inside, CNC production, spray finishing, photography and furniture created a restrained environment with its own rhythm and scale.


    Evolution Scenic carried the work from design development through fabrication and installation, allowing the structural, scenic and operational decisions to remain connected. The finished result shows how a temporary system can be transformed into a purpose-built architectural environment when engineering, materials, lighting and spatial planning are developed through one coordinated process.

  • LIV Golf Riyadh Scenic Entrance And Interactive Installations

    Building The LIV Golf Riyadh Scenic Environment


    LIV Golf Riyadh took place at Riyadh Golf Club from 6 to 8 February 2025. The project required a series of temporary scenic structures designed to establish a consistent physical identity across the entrance, wayfinding areas and interactive installations, while supporting the scale and energy of the wider event environment.


    Evolution Scenic developed the detailed scenic package from a client-supplied concept, translating the creative direction into a coordinated fabrication and installation scope. The confirmed works included the main entrance cladding, dimensional logos, integrated lightboxes, striped floor treatment, a two-metre rotating golf-ball sculpture and its circular platform, a six-metre Range sign, an illuminated IBC maze and the complete nineteenth-hole putting installation.


    Rather than relying on a single scenic feature, the environment used several different forms of construction and fabrication. The main entrance operated as a large-scale piece of temporary architecture, combining structural framing, cladding, illuminated branding and graphic finishes. The golf ball functioned as a large-format automated scenic prop, while the Range tower introduced height and illuminated wayfinding within the wider site.


    The IBC maze used repeated modular containers to create an immersive walkthrough environment, with integrated lighting transforming the units into illuminated scenic walls. Within the maze, the putting installation added an interactive component that combined scenic fabrication, artificial-grass surfaces, dimensional branding and integrated lighting.


    Each element required a different combination of materials, fabrication techniques and installation methods, but all were coordinated through the same graphic, lighting and finishing language. This allowed the separate structures to read as one connected scenic environment across Riyadh Golf Club.

    Transforming A Scaffold Into A Scenic Entrance


    The entrance began with a supplied scaffolding structure, which provided the primary temporary support but needed to be fully concealed within the finished scenic design. Evolution Scenic installed a secondary framework using aluminium rectangular tube, creating the required planes for the scenic facade while establishing secure fixing positions for the ACP panels, dimensional logos, lightboxes and other visible details. This approach allowed the underlying scaffold geometry to be transformed into a clean and controlled architectural entrance.


    The entrance needed to read as a deliberate architectural elevation rather than as cladding applied to a temporary frame. Careful panel setting-out ensured the ACP surfaces aligned around the two entrance openings and provided a consistent background for the illuminated line details and large-scale branding. Dimensional LIV Golf lettering occupied the upper section of the facade, with the Riyadh identification positioned below, while additional logos and illuminated graphic elements were integrated across the front elevation and around the entrance openings.


    The scenic treatment continued beyond the vertical entrance structure and onto the approach surface. A striped floor treatment was matched to the client’s specified Pantone colours, extending the visual identity across the complete arrival experience. By combining the scaffold support, aluminium secondary framing, ACP cladding, dimensional branding and integrated lighting, Evolution Scenic created a coordinated temporary architectural installation in which the structural and decorative elements worked together as a single finished environment.

    Fabricating And Engineering The Rotating Golf-Ball Sculpture


    A two-metre branded golf ball formed the principal sculptural feature in front of the entrance. The sphere was fabricated from CNC-machined foam, allowing the overall shape and repeated dimple pattern to be produced with consistent geometry across the large surface. Following machining, the foam form received a fibreglass coating, creating the finished outer shell and preparing it for the final scenic finish and applied LIV Golf branding.


    The golf ball was designed as a moving scenic feature rather than a static prop. Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated the rotation mechanism, developing the sculpture, central shaft, mounting arrangement and supporting structure as connected components. The system needed to support the completed sphere while maintaining a controlled rotational axis, with the visible mounting elements kept visually secondary to the sculptural form.


    The completed golf ball was mounted vertically within a custom circular platform positioned in front of the entrance. Artificial grass, painted finishes and dimensional branding helped integrate the base into the wider golf-themed environment while defining the moving feature within the arrival area. The finished installation brought together CNC fabrication, fibreglass finishing, scenic engineering and controlled movement to create a prominent kinetic focal point for the entrance.

    Turning IBC Units Into Scenic Architecture


    The IBC maze used 1,000-litre intermediate bulk container units as its main construction module.

    Rather than concealing the industrial containers, the installation used their visible grid frames and translucent tanks as part of the scenic appearance.


    The units were arranged into long walls, internal routes and stacked tower forms. Their repeated size gave the installation a consistent construction rhythm and allowed larger masses to be created from a standard component.


    This approach transformed individual storage containers into a temporary architectural system.

    The maze was not dependent on applied graphics alone. Its primary visual effect came from the relationship between the modular units, their stacking arrangement and the light transmitted through their translucent surfaces.


    Evolution Scenic supplied the custom LED system used across the maze. Resolume control enabled colour changes and programmed effects to operate across the complete installation.

    Lighting therefore changed the visual reading of the same physical structure without requiring the container arrangement itself to move.


    During daylight, the maze remained visibly constructed from IBC units. At night, the illuminated tanks formed connected fields of colour, turning the industrial components into scenic lightboxes.

    Integrating The Nineteenth-Hole Putting Feature


    The interactive putting installation was positioned within the IBC environment as a dedicated playable feature within the wider scenic experience. Its main scenic form consisted of a circular illuminated portal reached by an artificial-grass ramp. Raised side structures defined the playing route and helped guide participants towards the target, while layered coloured finishes and integrated lighting gave the piece a strong visual identity that connected with the surrounding illuminated maze.


    A dimensional nineteenth-hole sign occupied the top of the portal, with a smaller golf-ball detail incorporated into the centre of the sign. The combination of dimensional branding, lighting and shaped scenic construction helped establish the feature as a focal point while maintaining a clear connection to the golf theme.


    The artificial-grass playing surface continued directly through the circular opening, creating a strong relationship between the scenic form and the putting activity itself. This meant the structure could not be developed purely as a decorative backdrop. Its geometry had to preserve a practical and visually clear route towards the target while keeping the portal, side walls, lighting details and dimensional signage balanced as one complete composition.


    Together, the fabricated portal, illuminated side details, artificial-grass surface and dimensional signage formed a single integrated interactive installation, combining scenic fabrication with participant engagement inside the wider LIV Golf Riyadh environment.

    Fabricating The Six-Metre Range Feature


    The Range sign provided a separate vertical marker within the wider site, helping define the area through a combination of height, dimensional branding and integrated illumination.


    Its primary support was a six-metre-high scaffold tower. Evolution Scenic added the scenic branding and fully DMX-controlled lightbox, creating a high-level illuminated feature that could remain visually prominent and legible after dark. The sign used dimensional lettering rather than relying only on a printed banner, giving the installation greater depth and allowing the illuminated letterforms to stand out more clearly within the night-time environment.


    As with the main entrance, the structural support and scenic finish needed to operate as a coordinated assembly. Fixing positions, access for lighting installation, cable routing and final sign alignment all depended on the geometry of the scaffold tower. The six-metre height also introduced additional installation considerations, making wind loading, secure fixing and scaffold certification important parts of the overall delivery.


    The completed feature combined temporary scaffold engineering with dimensional scenic fabrication and controlled lighting, creating a strong vertical landmark that complemented the wider LIV Golf Riyadh visual environment.

    Coordinating Materials And Custom Scenic Fabrication


    The project used a broad material palette selected to suit the structural, visual and interactive requirements of each element. Steel and aluminium provided framing and secondary support, while MDF, plywood and painted timber were used for shaped scenic components, platforms and custom-built features. ACP formed the clean external surfaces of the main entrance, while acrylic and polycarbonate supported illuminated details and light-diffusing elements.


    CNC-machined foam and fibreglass were used for the two-metre rotating golf-ball sculpture, while vinyl graphics, printed panels and artificial grass helped carry the LIV Golf visual identity across the site. Evolution Scenic also fabricated a freestanding illuminated logo using a steel-framed structure with an acrylic lightbox, along with custom plywood truss-base covers finished with paint and printed fabric banners.


    The VIP seating area was designed and fabricated with a custom raised platform, carpet finish, coordinated seating and a perimeter handrail. Within the IBC maze, the 1,000-litre units provided both modular structure and illuminated scenic surfaces, with their steel cages and translucent tanks becoming part of the final visual treatment.

    Delivering A Complete Outdoor Scenic Environment


    The confirmed programme covered approximately one month of fabrication and installation. The outdoor setting required the project to account for weather exposure, wind loading and certified scaffold systems while coordinating multiple scenic structures across Riyadh Golf Club.


    At the entrance, the supplied scaffold provided the primary support before Evolution Scenic installed the aluminium secondary frame, ACP cladding, dimensional branding, lightboxes and illuminated details. The rotating golf-ball feature required the positioning of its circular platform, mechanical system and two-metre sculpture, while the six-metre Range structure combined scaffold support, dimensional branding and DMX-controlled illumination.


    The IBC maze was assembled from repeated 1,000-litre units before the custom LED system was installed and connected through Resolume control. The nineteenth-hole putting feature, freestanding illuminated logo, VIP seating platform and custom truss-base covers were also installed as part of the wider scenic environment.


    Wind loading, weather protection and scaffold certification were confirmed considerations, particularly for the entrance facade, Range tower, freestanding lightbox, stacked IBC units and rotating golf-ball sculpture. Following the tournament, the complete temporary scenic installation was dismantled.


    The finished environment brought together temporary architecture, sculptural fabrication, mechanical movement, illuminated branding and interactive construction. From the ACP-clad entrance and rotating golf ball to the IBC maze, putting feature, VIP seating area and supporting branded elements, the project demonstrated how multiple scenic disciplines could be coordinated into one unified LIV Golf Riyadh experience.

  • Global Citizen Forum Scenic Fabrication and Branded Environments in Ras Al Khaimah

    Evolution Scenic conference stage and branded scenic walling for Global Citizen Forum Ras Al Khaimah.

    Creating a Multi-Area Scenic Environment for the Global Citizen Forum


    The Global Citizen Forum took place at Al Hamra International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Ras Al Khaimah in 2021. Developed around the theme The Future in Motion, the programme included a two-day conference followed by a Gala Dinner, requiring several distinct areas of the venue to operate as parts of one connected visual environment.


    Evolution Scenic was appointed to provide scenic design, fabrication and event branding across the venue. Developing the scenic design alongside the fabrication scope allowed the visual concept, construction methodology, materials and installation requirements to be considered together rather than treating production as a separate stage after the design had been completed.


    The scope extended well beyond a conventional conference backdrop. It included the main stage environment, entrance architecture, exhibition displays, branded perimeter walling, presentation plinths, podiums and dedicated Gala Dinner scenery. Each area served a different function, but the complete project was developed through a consistent architectural, material and graphic language.

    Building the Main Conference Stage


    The main conference stage formed the principal architectural element within the auditorium. Evolution Scenic fabricated the complete stage deck and access steps together with black scenic walling, a branded lower fascia and custom podiums, creating a controlled visual setting around the principal presentation area.


    The venue’s existing LED screen established a fixed technical reference for the scenic construction. The surrounding walling, stage deck and fascia therefore needed to be developed around the position and proportions of the installed display so that the complete elevation appeared balanced from the main audience viewing positions.


    Black scenic surfaces created a restrained architectural frame around the screen content, while the branded fascia concealed the supporting stage structure and created a continuous graphic surface across the front elevation. The access steps and custom podiums followed the same construction and finish language, allowing the functional elements of the stage to read as parts of one coordinated environment.

    Integrating Scenic Construction with Venue Technology


    Working around a venue-owned LED screen required the scenic architecture to respond precisely to an existing technical installation. The screen needed to remain fully visible and operational while the surrounding walling provided a clean architectural frame that visually connected it with the stage deck and the wider conference environment.


    The scenic walls could not be positioned independently of the display. Their dimensions, base positions and finished edges needed to correspond with the installed screen, while the stage deck and front fascia had to maintain a consistent relationship with its lower edge. Accurate fabrication and positioning were particularly important across the wide stage elevation, where small dimensional differences would have been visually apparent.


    This coordination allowed the technical system to sit naturally within the scenic architecture rather than appearing as equipment placed against a temporary backdrop. The stage structure completed the visual composition while maintaining the separation required between the venue technology and Evolution Scenic’s fabricated scope.

    Extending the Identity Beyond the Auditorium


    The scenic environment continued beyond the principal conference stage into the arrival and exhibition areas. Evolution Scenic fabricated a large branded perimeter wall that established a defined architectural boundary within the venue and provided a substantial surface through which the Global Citizen Forum identity could extend into the wider space.


    A circular illuminated entrance feature introduced a stronger three-dimensional arrival point. Its curved geometry contrasted with the predominantly rectilinear walling and display structures used elsewhere, while integrated illumination reinforced its outline and made the feature clearly visible within the larger exhibition environment.


    Combining large-format walling with the illuminated entrance prevented the arrival area from becoming a sequence of flat graphic surfaces. The architectural wall established scale and enclosure, while the circular feature created a recognisable focal point that helped establish the transition into the forum environment.

    Fabricating Geometric Displays and Exhibition Features


    Evolution Scenic fabricated geometric metal-framed displays, freestanding exhibition panels and presentation plinths for the exhibition area. The open metal structures introduced a lighter architectural language than the solid perimeter walling, allowing objects and graphic content to be framed while maintaining visual depth through the surrounding space.


    Freestanding panels provided additional surfaces for information and branding and could be positioned according to the layout of the exhibition environment. Presentation plinths created elevated bases for individual objects, with their proportions and surface treatments developed to complement the wider material and graphic language rather than function as unrelated display furniture.


    Together, the perimeter wall, illuminated circular entrance, geometric frames, exhibition panels and plinths created a layered hierarchy of scenic elements. Larger architectural forms defined the overall space, three-dimensional features created focal points and smaller structures supported individual presentation moments, giving the exhibition area greater depth and visual organisation.

    Constructing the Gala Dinner Environment


    The Gala Dinner required a distinct scenic treatment while remaining connected to the wider visual identity of the Global Citizen Forum. Evolution Scenic fabricated a dedicated branded stage for the evening setting together with a globe feature and a gold-framed presentation plinth.


    The globe introduced a clearly sculptural object into an environment otherwise dominated by rectilinear stage, wall and display construction. Its curved three-dimensional form created a focal point within the room and provided a visual counterpoint to the more architectural scenic elements used throughout the conference and exhibition spaces.


    The gold-framed plinth added another dedicated presentation feature and introduced a different material character appropriate to the evening environment. Together, the stage, globe and presentation structure gave the Gala Dinner its own identity while retaining enough visual continuity for the space to feel like an extension of the wider forum rather than a separate project.

    Coordinating Graphics with Fabrication


    Branding formed part of the physical construction throughout the project rather than being treated as a final decorative layer. The stage fascia, scenic walling, exhibition panels, podiums and presentation plinths were all developed as fabricated surfaces that also carried the visual identity of the Global Citizen Forum.


    This required the dimensions of each scenic element to remain coordinated with the graphic layouts applied to it. Logos, text and visual motifs needed to sit correctly within the available surfaces and maintain alignment around edges, joints and adjoining components, particularly across larger scenic walls and the continuous front fascia of the main stage.


    The relationship between structure and graphics created consistency across areas that performed very different functions. The black stage architecture provided a controlled frame around the technical content, while the entrance and exhibition spaces combined larger branded surfaces with illuminated and three-dimensional forms. Fabrication established the physical hierarchy, and the graphic treatment connected those elements through one shared identity.

    Installing Multiple Scenic Zones


    Installation at Al Hamra International Exhibition & Conference Centre involved several distinct scenic zones. Within the auditorium, the stage deck, access steps, black scenic walls, fascia and podiums needed to be positioned accurately around the venue LED screen so that the completed stage maintained the proportions established during design development.


    The entrance and exhibition areas required a different installation sequence, bringing together the large perimeter wall, illuminated circular entrance, metal-framed displays, freestanding panels and presentation plinths. These structures varied considerably in size and construction but needed to maintain consistent alignment, finish quality and branding once positioned within the wider environment.


    The Gala Dinner stage, globe feature and gold-framed presentation element created an additional installation zone with its own spatial requirements. Coordinating these separate areas as parts of the same scenic package allowed the venue to transition between conference, exhibition and evening functions while maintaining a recognisable project identity throughout.

    Delivering a Consistent Temporary Architecture


    The completed Global Citizen Forum transformed several areas of the venue through purpose-built temporary scenic construction. The auditorium gained a complete architectural stage environment centred around the existing LED screen, while the arrival and exhibition areas were shaped through branded walling, illuminated entrance architecture, geometric displays and freestanding presentation structures.


    The Gala Dinner extended the project into a different setting through its dedicated stage, sculptural globe and gold-framed plinth. Although every area had its own functional requirements, the use of coordinated form, materials, graphics and fabrication methods allowed the individual environments to remain visually connected.


    Evolution Scenic’s combined design and fabrication scope allowed stage construction, scenic architecture, graphics, metalwork, feature fabrication and installation to develop as parts of one coordinated process. The finished project demonstrates how multiple temporary conference environments can be given a clear architectural identity through disciplined scenic design and fabrication rather than relying on branding alone.
