We are a global, design-led architecture practice at the heart of Arup, with access to its unparalleled range of professional ... expertise in every facet of the built environment. We produce integrated and thoughtful architecture, resulting in buildings whose simplicity, efficiency, purpose and beauty fully realise our clients’ ambitions. For over fifty years Arup has operated an architecture practice, believing that architecture and engineering are best achieved in close collaboration, two parts of a seamless creative process. This multidisciplinary ethos means we can help our clients meet their objectives and produce more sustainable, flexible and intelligent buildings. Lead architecture As lead architects, we employ a highly creative process, informed by our experience in an ever expanding number of parallel disciplines and sectors. We question old assumptions. We help our clients to produce designs that represent the best long-term value for their users. Technical specialist architecture Arup has a global reputation for producing the high-performance, technically rigorous architecture that underpins the transport interchanges, sports facilities and data infrastructure the modern world increasingly depends upon. We use the latest data-driven tools to shape buildings whose design is human through and though. And we never forget that our work will be used by millions daily, and must always meet the highest standards of sustainability, safety and energy performance. Collaborative to the core Our culture has been collaborative from the start. Our founder, Sir Ove Arup was motivated by the idea of ‘Total Architecture’, where all relevant design decisions are considered together. In the twenty-first century it means our architects see their work as an ever-widening conversation, producing buildings that relate intuitively to the world they join. read more
