ARUP
Arup is the creative force at the heart of many of the world’s most prominent projects in the built environment. Founded in 1946 with an enduring set of values, the firm is owned in trust on behalf of its staff. The result is an independence of spirit that is reflected in the firm’s work, and in its dedicated pursuit of technical excellence.
Research is fundamental to Arup’s pursuit of technical excellence and integral to the firm’s business. Almost every project Arup undertakes is original in some way and departs from the ‘standard’ approach. Developments in 3D.
Erin McConahey - Principal
Erin’s passion for finding integrated design solutions through a collaborative design process began with degrees in both mechanical and structural engineering. Her extensive technical knowledge of innovative and energy saving solutions is coupled with her commitment to sustainable designs that address the whole life cycle of buildings. In addition to her project responsibilities as a design leader, Erin has crafted tools and training to drive interdisciplinary coordination within Arup.
Chris Luebkeman - Director for Global Foresight and Innovation
Educated as a geologist, structural engineer and architect, Chris now specializes as a generalist with a view of being “in league with the future.” Chris leads the Foresight, Research + Innovation team at Arup and makes it his personal mission to ensure the firm is positioned to thrive under the shifting contexts of the future.
