Editorial information

Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® Magazine

There have been many changes since our last issue. We've reinvigorated the design, freshened up the layouts, and revised the graphics and fonts to bring you what we believe is one of the leading, inspirational and opinion-forming steel architecture magazines available in Australia today.

But perhaps one of the most important evolutionary steps STEEL PROFILE® has taken recently is the introduction of a panel of architectural experts who select the projects to feature in the magazine.

Professor Tom Heneghan (Chair of Architecture at Sydney University), Adam Haddow (Director of SJB Architects), and Daniel Griffin (joint winner of the 2008 Australian Institute of Architects COLORBOND® steel Biennale Prize) have joined the newly-formed Editorial Advisory Panel.

Using their collective expertise, the panel – which also includes BlueScope Steel's National Market Development Manager, Manu Siitonen, and STEEL PROFILE®'s new Associate Editor Rachael Bernstone – will handpick the most inspirational and innovative steel projects for publication in the magazine.

STEEL PROFILE® magazine remains the flagship architectural publication of BlueScope Steel, but the online element is designed as an active and complementary addition to the printed magazine, making it even more accessible to the wider architectural community.

As you can see, we've been busy of late, and we're sure the changes mean that STEEL PROFILE® will remain a collectable point of reference. We hope you enjoy the issue.
