Open Studio | ARUP
As a global leader in integrated design and engineering, Arup offers students and graduates a chance to experience interdisciplinary practice first-hand. This Open Studio will highlight how architects collaborate with engineers, urban designers, and sustainability specialists to deliver resilient, future-focused buildings and infrastructure.
Students and graduates will present their portfolios and explore how to communicate technical understanding and sustainable design principles within their work. Additionally, you will be able to network with and learn more about the studio at the end of the session.
How It Works
An Open Studio typically involves an introductory presentation by our host practice and meeting the team members and mentors who will be providing feedback to you on your applications.
Participants will be split into small groups to ask specific questions about their CVs and portfolios as well as engage with their peers.
We require attendees to bring physical portfolios for richer discussions. Each person will receive feedback for up to 15 minutes.
