Structurae was founded in 1998 by Nicolas Janberg, who had studied civil engineering at Princeton University.[1] In March 2012, Structurae was acquired by Ernst & Sohn, a subsidiary of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,[2] with Janberg joining the company as Structurae's editor-in-chief.[3] At that time, the web site received more than one million pageviews per month, and was available in English, French and German.[1] In 2015, Janberg bought the site back to operate it as a freelancer again.[3]
