Hi there,

The site for the ceremony was actually opposite the Arts Center, west of the reclaimed construction site.  The building shown in the photo was the construction site office.  The crermony took place in a custom-made air dome structure, with a few smaller adjicent domes around.  Powerful blowers were on 7X24 for preparation & duration of the ceremony, as well as for the exhibition afterwards to keep the domes standing.
