Growing up in former East Germany, Steffen Welsch came to architecture from left field. He liked buildings but was always interested in our environment as a whole – social, economic, political, built and natural. With almost 30 years’ experience as an Architect in Australia, he combines his professional capacity with his community involvement. Together with others he founded a bi-lingual primary school in Melbourne, Australia; and today he is one of the coordinators of “Australian Architects Declare”, a declaration of architects committing to climate action through professional practice. Being the driver behind projects within his studio he fosters a collaborative design and delivery approach that extends beyond his own practice.
