Ove Arup Foundation – Anthrotopia

Collaboration, Interdisciplinarity and Sustainability.

These are the values of the Ove Arup Foundation and the driving forces behind its Catalyst for Change program.

“The Ove Arup Foundation honours the memory of engineer, designer and philosopher, Sir Ove Arup. By funding educational programmes and initiatives, the foundation drives values of innovation and inclusive design, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and interdisciplinary collaboration. Sir Ove Arup was committed to the benefit of practitioners from different fields learning from each other. Through its actively inclusive work with universities, communities and organisations around the world, the Ove Arup Foundation strives to create a professional culture of multiple perspectives and skills across different disciplines within the built environment.” (Ove Arup Foundation)

To mark the 30th anniversary of the Ove Arup Foundation, highlights of past projects and future initiatives were presented in the exhibition Catalyst for Change. The following video offers a brief overview of these projects and of the foundation’s pioneering efforts to advance education and knowledge in the built environment through interdisciplinary design practices.
