Well-known for their ability to turn architects intent into reality, multidisciplinary design firm Arup is well known as the engineers behind modern day structures like Beijing’s ‘Bird’s Nest’ and ‘Water Cube’, and Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. Founded in 1968, Arup built upon knowledge gained during the design of the London Eye to develop a lightweight and almost transparent wheel structure for the Flyer. Thanks to its more efficient and innovative design, the Flyer surpasses the London Eye by 30m and is also lighter and slimmer than its predecessor.
