My Experience

ZEIDLER ARCHITECTURE Inc.

Current role Jan 2025 - Present

Associate, Project Architect

Registered with the Alberta Association of Architects (AAA) as an architect. This brings me to over sixteen years of experience, combining extensive work in Canada with valuable international expertise. Leading to this point I have built up diverse experience that spans multi-family residential-, mixed use-, retail-, industrial-, academic-, commercial-, interior- and private residential architecture. My experience helps me excel at blending form and function, bringing a unique perspective to every project and strengthening community connections. My extensive experience in placemaking is evident in leading projects that prioritize human-centered design, seamlessly integrating public spaces with their environments. By thoughtfully considering how people engage with their surroundings, I design spaces that are both inviting and purposeful, transforming ordinary locations into vibrant hubs of activity and engagement. I am driven by a deep commitment to collaboration, seeing the building industry as a community where input from clients, design teams, contractors, and end users is essential to success. With 16 years of experience and a background in managing my own practice in South Africa, I value the client’s vision and places emphasis on partnership throughout each project. This approach, built on shared goals and collaboration, drives success. My strong leadership and creative problem-solving skills make me a valuable asset to Zeidler’s team, and my passion for designing impactful spaces positions me as a key leader in shaping the future of the firm. https://zeidler.com/staff/steven-crawford/
