Since it was established by Ove Arup in 1946, Arup has been the
design, architectural and engineering genius behind many of the
world's leading buildings and urban areas. The team has been
pivotal in creating some of the world's best-known developments:
from the groundbreaking Sydney Opera House to the unconventional
Centre Pompidou in Paris and Crossrail, the largest construction
project in Europe today. Beyond iconic buildings, Arup's influence
is also in evidence behind the scenes. The hidden hand of the
engineer has transformed many of our everyday experiences - often
without us knowing. Arup has developed leading fire-safety systems
in airports, cooling systems in museums to protect priceless
artworks, and its experience with acoustics ensures every note is
heard in the world's leading opera houses. The book focuses on some
of the biggest global issues to arise over the past 70 years. They
include the population explosion and subsequent increase in city
living, as well as changes in transport patterns that have fuelled
the construction of airports, roads, rail and bridges, and even the
democratisation of sporting events. Looking at Arup's work under
the lens of these world-shaping events, we show how this is a firm
that has not just responded to a changing world, but has
anticipated and led many of those changes. Arup takes its place in
society seriously. Collaborations such as the partnership with C40
to tackle climate change are impacting the way future generations
will live. Looking to the future, this is a firm that will continue
on its mission to shape a better world.
