106 Part 10. Appendices The fi rm Arup founded continued to fl ourish in the 1970s and 1980s. Offi ces were opened in Australia —fi rst in Sydney to work on the Sydney Opera House and subsequently in other cities—also in Singapore, Malaysia, the United States, France and latterly in many other countries. Ove Arup & Partners’ development was founded on sound technical and social principles. The quest for technical excellence was underpinned by sophisticated information systems and a leading edge research and development group. It was further enhanced by the establishment of specialist services such as information technology; acoustics; economics; urban planning; and facade, fi re and seismic engineering. Ove Arup wanted always to marry the highest ideals of design and construction. His background in both the humanities and engineering contributed to his ability to articulate this ideal which he described as ‘Total Architecture’. In his own words: ‘Good design must fi rst of all satisfy a social function, it must have artistic wholeness and the result must harmonise with its surroundings.’ Arup’s social principles for his fi rm have become known as his ‘Key Speech’ and have continued to operate as the guidelines for the fi rm. Ove Arup was made a Commander of the British Empire in 1953 and a Knight Bachelor in 1971. He was elected as a member of the British Royal Academy in 1986 and also received several honorary doctorates. Many of his partners and colleagues have also been honoured and received praise, including Peter Rice who played a leading role in the Sydney Opera House project. Peter Rice was awarded the Royal Institute of British Architects’ Gold Medal for Architecture in 1992. Ove Arup died in London in 1988, aged 92. Awards Awards presented to Ove Arup include: • • • Chevalier First Class (1965) and Commander First Class (1975) of the Order of Danneborg (Denmark) Royal Institute of British Architects Gold Medal (United Kingdom 1966) Institution of Structural Engineers Gold Medal (United Kingdom 1973).
