Despite a diminished head count at its London-based headquarters, the global engineering firm Arup has opened overseas architecture offices for the first time in its 65-year history.
The three new offices, which were inaugurated in early April, are located in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, China. Each employs about 15 architects and 12 engineers, many of them Chinese nationals, according to company spokeswoman Joanne Ronaldson.
