Structural Engineer

CRAFT Engineering Studio is a visionary studio of structural engineering consultants who are passionate about the pursuit of art and architecture from the vantage point of the engineer. They rely on multidisciplinary backgrounds that include product design, architecture and computation to augment their practice as structural engineers. CRAFT caters to the client who challenges traditional notions of structural engineering consulting and seeks a creative and collaborative partner in the process of design and its execution.

CRAFT was founded in the spring of 2010 by Nathaniel M. Stanton PE CE SE AIA to more effectively address the desire among architects for an engineering consultant that is progressive and forward thinking but operates on a scale that engenders creativity and collaboration between disciplines. This pursuit builds on over 25 years of experience in the analysis and design of high-end residential and commercial structures in a variety of settings including high seismic regions and coastal zones subject to flooding and hurricane force winds.

Nathaniel is a licensed Structural Engineer who holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a Master of Architecture, and a Master of Science in Civil (Structural) Engineering. Nathaniel received his education at the University of Michigan, the Swiss Federal Technological Institute (ETH) in Zurich and the University of New Hampshire.

In addition to practice, Nathaniel has lectured at Columbia University, Harvard University, the University of Michigan, the Pratt Institute and the Stevens Institute of Technology in both the undergraduate and graduate curriculum.
