== History ==

=== Foundation === The company was founded in London in 1946 as ''Ove N. Arup Consulting Engineers'' by Sir Ove Arup. Arup had established himself in the 1930s as an expert in reinforced concrete, known for projects such as the Penguin Pool at London Zoo.<ref>{{Cite web|title=V&A · Engineering the Penguin Pool at London Zoo|url=https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/engineering-the-penguin-pool-at-london-zoo|access-date=2021-09-02|website=Victoria and Albert Museum|language=en|archive-date=14 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230614030937/https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/engineering-the-penguin-pool-at-london-zoo|url-status=live}}</ref> According to the architectural author Ian Volner, Arup's vision when establishing the company came out of a combination of his wartime experiences and a progressive-minded philosophy broadly aligning with early modernism, was for the organisation to be a force for peace and social betterment in the postwar world.<ref name="arch 2013">{{cite web |url = https://www.archdaily.com/428945/how-arup-became-the-go-to-firm-for-architecture-s-most-ambitious-projects |title = How Arup Became The Go-To Firm for Architecture's Most Ambitious Projects |publisher = archdaily.com |first = Ian |last = Volner |date = 16 September 2013 |access-date = 17 April 2021 |archive-date = 9 July 2023 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230709054913/https://www.archdaily.com/428945/how-arup-became-the-go-to-firm-for-architecture-s-most-ambitious-projects |url-status = live }}</ref> To this end, it would employ professionals of diverse disciplines that could work together to produce projects of greater quality than was achievable by them working in isolation, a concept known as 'Total Design'.<ref name="arch 2013" /><ref>{{cite web |url = https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/arup-associates/ |title = Arup Associates |date = 15 June 2018 |publisher = historicengland.org.uk |accessdate = 17 April 2021 |archive-date = 13 June 2023 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230613072608/https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/arup-associates/ |url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Alexandra Wynne|date=2016-08-03|title=Arup's total design legacy|url=https://www.newcivilengineer.com/archive/arups-total-design-legacy-03-08-2016/|access-date=2021-09-14|magazine=New Civil Engineer|language=en|archive-date=13 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230613072614/https://www.newcivilengineer.com/archive/arups-total-design-legacy-03-08-2016/|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Early years === As the company grew, Arup spurned the common practice amongst its rivals of acquiring other companies; instead, it pursued natural growth, opening up new offices at locations where the potential for work had been identified.<ref name="arch 2013" /> During 1963, together with the architect Philip Dowson, a new division of the company, Arup Associates, was formed.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sir Philip Dowson - obituary|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11095771/Sir-Philip-Dowson-obituary.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11095771/Sir-Philip-Dowson-obituary.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-14|website=www.telegraph.co.uk|date=14 September 2014 }}{{cbignore}}</ref>

=== "Key Speech" === 1970 was a particularly transformative year for the firm; 24 years after founding the company, Arup opted to retire from actively leading the company. At the time, the firm (then ''Ove'' ''Arup & Partners'') was made up of several independent practices spread across the globe, so prior to his departure, Arup delivered his "Key Speech" on 9 July in Winchester to all his partners from the various practices.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ove Arup Key Speech - Arup|url=https://www.arup.com/en/perspectives/publications/speeches-and-lectures/section/ove-arup-key-speech|access-date=2021-09-14|website=www.arup.com|language=en}}</ref> The speech set out the aims of the firm and identified the principles of governance by which they might be achieved. These included quality of work, total architecture, humane organisation, straight and honorable dealings, social usefulness, and the reasonable prosperity of its members.<ref name="arch 2013" /> Arup's philosophy work on influential projects was the subject of a dedicated retrospective at the V&A Museum in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|title=V&A · Engineering the World: Ove Arup and the Philosophy of Total Design - Exhibition at South Kensington|url=https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/engineering-the-world|access-date=2021-09-14|website=Victoria and Albert Museum|language=en|archive-date=14 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210914144759/https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/engineering-the-world|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== 2020s === Arup fell victim to a deepfake scam at their Hong Kong office, resulting in a loss of approximately $25 million. Fraudsters used AI-generated video and audio to impersonate senior company officials, deceiving an employee into transferring funds across multiple transactions.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Magramo |first1=Kathleen |title=British engineering giant Arup revealed as $25 million deepfake scam victim {{!}} CNN Business |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/16/tech/arup-deepfake-scam-loss-hong-kong-intl-hnk/index.html |work=CNN |date=17 May 2024 |language=en}}</ref>

== Company == [[File:ARUP Docklands.jpg|alt=Picture of an office building.|left|thumb|An office building occupied by Arup in the Dublin Docklands.]] Arup is an employee-owned business, with all staff owning a stake in the company and part of a global profit share.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Easen|first=Nick|date=2019-11-03|title=Employee ownership: how Arup's CFO stays ahead of the curve|url=https://www.raconteur.net/c-suite/cfo/employee-ownership-arup-cfo/|access-date=2021-09-22|website=Raconteur|language=en-GB|archive-date=18 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220818194031/https://www.raconteur.net/c-suite/cfo/employee-ownership-arup-cfo/|url-status=live}}</ref> By 2013, Arup was operating 90 offices across 60 countries around the world.<ref name="arch 2013" /> These offices are elaborately interconnected by shared internet-based collaborative working packages and communication systems that can, where required, enable a single project to be worked on by multiple offices across a seamless, 24-hour working cycle. However, it is more common for individual offices to specialise in working on an assigned subsection of a project rather than continuously exchanging.<ref name="arch 2013" />

The BBC Television and RIBA documentary ''The Brits who Built the Modern World'' highlighted Arup's collaboration with architects and described Arup as "the engineering firm which Lord Norman Foster and his peers Lord Richard Rogers, Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, Sir Michael Hopkins and Sir Terry Farrell most frequently relied upon."<ref name="bbd140227">{{cite episode |title = The Politics of Power |url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03vgz7r |series = The Brits who Built the Modern World |network = BBC Four |location = London |airdate = 27 February 2014 |access-date = 15 March 2014 |archive-date = 24 November 2020 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201124081853/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03vgz7r |url-status = live }}</ref>
