What makes a cultural icon? Creating arts and culture experiences for everyone
Webinar
A thriving arts and culture sector is a thriving world and a vehicle for shared connection. Southeast Asia is rich in cultural diversity with venues integral for celebrating identity and dynamic creativity.
Through our experience working on leading venues, like the Sydney Opera House, we have a unique understanding of the complexity and creativity it takes to deliver a cultural icon.
Recently Tateo Nakajima, Arup Fellow, and Arts and Culture Industry Leader, shared insights into his work designing some of the world’s favourite cultural venues, including Singapore’s Performing Arts Centre, Poland’s National Forum of Music and Canada’s La Maison Symphonique.
