Building design at Arup

The idea of designing, planning and building as an inseparable process  The idea of "Total Architecture", as described by Ove Arup in his vision of design, continues to serve as the maxim for the globally operating engineering firm ARUP and its Building Engineering Department.

The focus is placed on the different processes that have accompanied the presented construction projects.
