Arup

Design innovation

Founded in 1946, Arup today is a truly multidisciplinary organisation. An independent firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical specialists offering a broad range of professional services. Arup's unconventional approach to design required new working processes. The design of this site was hugely collaborative and extended over 18 months of thinking, prototyping and development. The objective: to design an innovative, yet elegant global experience, one that is highly visual, yet accessible and supports over 10 languages. The visual language is stripped back, the emphasis is on form through function. During the conceptual stage a further presentation layer 'Experience Arup' was concieved, this resulted in a flash based experience featuring full screen stills and moving image.
