Arup has been operating in Spain for 20 years, with a small office in Madrid that has grown into a thriving multi-disciplinary practice advising, planning, designing and supervising projects worldwide. The firm, founded in 1946 by Danish engineer Ove Arup and British architect Philip Dowson, has successfully combined engineering with architecture and Scandinavian democracy with British empiricism. The team has worked on a range of iconic and minimal works in challenging environments, and is proud of its legacy and future contributions. The firm's success is attributed to talented engineers such as the late Peter Rice and Cecil Balmond, who have collaborated with renowned architects on landmark projects.
