Arup AGU

* 2000

Arup's Advanced Geometry Unit (AGU) was founded in 2000 by Cecil Balmond, who is known for his visionary, unorthodox attitude to the merging of architecture and engineering. In AGU, Balmond assembled a team that comprises architects, mathematicians, engineers, programmers, artists and scientists, with the aim of exploring new geometrical and structural concepts.
Essentially a research-based practice, AGU explores new modes of working in emerging markets through the development of geometric and computer programming.
