Ove Arup quotes
-
“Engineering problems are under-defined, there are many solutions, good, bad and indifferent. The art is to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative activity, involving imagination, intuition and deliberate choice.”
-- Ove Arup -
“Engineering is not a science. Science studies particular events to find general laws. Engineering design makes use of the laws to solve particular practical problems. In this it is more closely related to art or craft.”
-- Ove Arup -
“When engineers and quantity surveyors discuss aesthetics and architects study what cranes do we are on the right road.”
-- Ove Arup
