The structure is rented, bolted and numbered because the schedule allows nothing else. What follows from that: how systems make bays, where custom joinery earns its cost, what a truss is really carrying, and how much adjustment a hall floor demands.
Day one, mid-sequence: uprights and primary horizontals set, secondary framing following behind, crates still on the floor.

4 entries- 01.01Two days up, one day downThe whole discipline follows from the schedule. A structure that takes a week to build cannot exist here, so everything is modular, bolted, numbered and designed to come apart in the reverse order it went together — and the drawing has to say so.
- 01.02Modular versus customRented system framing is fast, standard and visibly standard. Custom joinery looks like nothing else and has to be stored or skipped afterwards.
- 01.03Trussing, and what it carriesOverhead structure carries light, banners and sometimes nothing but the appearance of structure. Loadings are the part nobody eyeballs.
- 01.04TolerancesHall floors are not flat and walls are not square. Everything adjustable, everywhere.
A structure that takes a week to build cannot exist here, so nothing on it is permanent and everything on it is numbered.
