Great architecture always starts with people. It’s something that’s guided us for more than 50 years, based on our ethos of ‘Total Architecture’ to shape a better world through buildings, places and spaces for people to experience and enjoy every day.
How we work with you
We help our clients realise their ambitions through architecture that’s grounded in people, their experiences and their environments, applying our integrated expertise and the most advanced digital tools to unlock the potential in every project. It’s an approach that’s allowed us to create exhilarating sporting venues, bring greener futures to commercial developments, connect communities through more intuitive and efficient transport systems, and deliver cutting edge scientific and industrial facilities.
Total Architecture – many voices, one vision
Arup is a diverse, technical and highly creative community, united by our shared aims and values. Our clients benefit from the insights of our master-planners, engineers, acousticians, lighting designers, fire experts, sustainability managers, MEP teams, digital developers and many more. This ‘total architecture’ approach improves each design, resulting in more sustainable, resilient, intelligent and robust outcomes.
Meet our people
Our Total Architecture philosophy means I work side by side with our architects to create buildings that have the lowest possible environmental impact.
Here at Arup, I can come up with ideas and not only run with them but also get support from colleagues. And it happens in many ways, not just projects but also operations and professional development.
I love having the chance to work every day with different colleagues with different backgrounds, and I believe it makes us do better work for our clients and ourselves.
Shaping buildings, places and spaces
We work with governments and public bodies on projects of national importance such as the UK’s new high-speed railway project (HS2 Interchange) and Copenhagen’s transformative Cityringen metro. We’re forging a sustainable future for leading property developers with breakthrough buildings like 1 Triton Square for British Land. And we bring our technically rigorous, collaborative approach to renowned brands including BMW, Starbucks, Sky and Citibank.
“The professionalism, diligence, focus and attention to detail has been excellent... It has been a long time since I have seen a piece of work of such a high calibre. I truly believe the Interchange Station is an exemplar of outstanding architecture and engineering. ” Tom Wilne | Project Director – HS2 Ltd
