Background
About
Andy Rastetter is a structural engineer and educator whose work sits at the intersection of engineering and architecture. With dual graduate degrees in Architecture and Structural Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, he brings a unique perspective to the design of buildings — one that treats structure not merely as a support system, but as an integral contributor to the architectural experience.
Over a decade of professional practice, Andy has helped deliver a broad spectrum of projects — from award-winning cultural institutions and master plans to high-rise towers and educational facilities — collaborating with world-renowned architects including Renzo Piano Building Workshop, RIOS, MAD Architects, and Henning Larsen.
Beyond practice, Andy is committed to shaping the next generation of designers through his teaching at UC Berkeley, where he developed and delivered the curriculum for "Introduction to Structures" in the Department of Architecture.
