Arup

Arup led the library’s lighting, acoustics, audiovisual, and theatre design, focused on the longevity and sustainability of material selections. The lighting design balances visitor comfort with environmental stewardship, minimizing light pollution, glare, and energy use while creating welcoming environments day and night. The exterior lighting supports intuitive wayfinding without uniform illumination to protect wildlife and meet the library’s sustainability goals.

We look forward to recognising individuals who embody these values through their collaborative behaviour and influence to create fire-safe, sustainable solutions for all. The award is open to both groups and individuals who have conducted research applicable to fire safety, regardless of their field of study. Submissions should demonstrate how you overcame the challenges of the research or project and describe the impact of your work.

John joins Arup from Rambøll where he most recently served as Global Service Line Director for Industry and Infrastructure Facilities, covering energy and transport. He brings nearly 25 years of senior leadership experience in the energy sector, with deep expertise across power systems, transmission and distribution, and the commercial delivery of complex energy infrastructure. John will be based in Copenhagen, Denmark, as part of Arup’s growing global energy team.

Appointed as Owner's Engineer, Arup has supported the first bottom-fixed offshore wind project in Japan’s general sea areas to obtain conformity certification through the public auction process — and the world’s first design for a 15MW-class turbine to account for earthquake effects. Arup has supported the certification process for the offshore wind power project located off the coast of Oga City, Katagami City and Akita City in Akita Prefecture, Japan.

Two international honours reaffirm the project as a global benchmark in geotechnical engineering.

Arup participated in the competition as part of a project partnership comprising leading companies and proven experts in the fields of project development, urban planning, architecture, historic preservation, arts and culture management, engineering, and construction, and developed a concrete development concept as well as architectural and urban design proposals during a two-year dialogue phase.

Worldwide, cities struggle to translate financing for vital resilience priorities into actionable programmes of work that actually solve longstanding problems. This report explores how the ‘portfolio approach’ unlocks investable pathways and sequences work in a more effective way than before.

The awards celebrate women making a significant contribution to engineering and recognise individuals who demonstrate leadership, technical excellence and a commitment to advancing the profession. This year's theme, Engineering Intelligence, highlights how engineers apply technical expertise, creativity and collaboration to solve complex challenges and deliver meaningful impact. Maya Shinozaki, Leonora Lang, Selin Shefik, and Roha Javed have all been recognised in this year's Top 50.

The Coastal Pedestrian Access (CPA) at Ma Wan Chung Village, a landmark project within the Tung Chung New Town Extension, has been named the winner of the CIHT Infrastructure Award 2026 at the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) Awards Dinner 2026.

Arup contributed to discussions on advancing next-generation energy systems and supporting global decarbonisation through scalable solutions. Arup showcased its global energy transition expertise at the Xiong’an International Conference on Cutting-Edge Energy Technologies and Applications in China.
