歷史

編輯

公司由奧雅納爵士(Ove Nyquist Arup)於1946年在倫敦創立。奧雅納爵士建立一間由不同領域專業人士組成的公司,令他們能共同完成項目,最終的質素比起只由某一領域的專業人士完成更好。1963年,奧雅納爵士和建築師菲利道森(Philip Dowson)籌組奧雅納聯合事務所(Arup Associates)[3],提供跨領域的建築及工程服務。1970年,公司重組為奧雅納工程顧問公司(Ove Arup & Partners)。同年,奧雅納爵士發表一個名為「The Key Speech」的重要演講,定下公司的核心價值及提出未來的發展。[4]

Arup was one of the first engineering consultancies to adopt a holistic multi-disciplined approach to engineering design. Over the years, a number of its staff have left to form other companies, often with significant parallels with Arup.

In 1976, Edmund Happold (engineer for the Pompidou Centre) and six other engineers from the group left Arup to form Buro Happold in Bath. Mark Whitby in turn left Buro Happold to form Whitby Bird.

In 1999, Chris Wise (engineer for the Millennium Bridge) and Sean Walsh left Arup to form Expedition Engineering in London.
