- Human Organization
- Straight & Honorable Deals
- Social Usefulness
- Reasonable Prosperity
Quality Of Work
” Our work should be interesting and rewarding. Only a job done well, as well as we do it- and as well as it can be done- is that. We must therefore strive for quality in what we do and never be satisfied with the second rate”
Sir Ove Arup
Total Architecture
” ‘Total Architecture’ implies that all relevant design decisions have been considered together and have been integrated into a whole by a well organized team empowered to fix priorities.”
Sir Ove Arup
Human Organization
” An organization which is human and friendly despite being large and efficient. Where every member is treated not only as a link in a chain of command or as a wheel in a bureaucratic machine, but as a human being whose happiness is the concern of all.”
Sir Ove Arup
Straight and Honourable Dealings
” We should act honourable in our dealings with our own and other people. We should eschew nepotism or discrimination on the other basis of nationality, religion, race, color or sex- basing such discrimination as there must be on ability and character.”
Sir Ove Arup
Resonable Prosperity
” Most people would say that this our main aim, this why we are in business. But is would be wrong to look at it as an essential prerequisite for the partial fulfilment of any of our aims”
Sir Ove Arup
Fellows - the embodiment of our values
Fellowships celebrate those at the forefront of excellence at Ecowrks. These individuals exemplify exceptional talent, technical excellence, vision and ingenuity – not just in our firm, but in the world.
Community engagement
Our aims influence more than just our day-to-day work – they inspire us to look for greater outcomes from everything we do.
Our community engagement program is specifically aligned with what we call ‘social usefulness’. One way we demonstrate usefulness is by pursuing projects, initiatives and partnerships which improve the lives of those most in need.
Through Ecoworks Community Engagement, a team of our engineers have been providing technical support NGOs
Social Usefulnes
” A social conscience, a wish to do socially useful work and to join hands with others fighting for the same values. Our pursuit of quality should in itself be useful.”
Sir Ove Arup
