Editorial information
Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® #106
As always, it is with great pride that we deliver you a selection of this country's most interesting and innovative steel architectural projects.
As the Principal Corporate Partner of the Australian Institute of Architects, we have been impressed by the standard of this year's state-based National Architecture Awards winners. Projects such as these are pinnacles in our architectural landscape and we are pleased to note the intrinsic role steel has played in shaping many of them.
The projects for this issue have been selected with considerable deliberation. We trust you will enjoy them.

Art Director
STEEL PROFILE® has established an editorial advisory panel to ensure that only projects of the highest calibre are selected for publication. The panellists are:
Adam Haddow
Adam is an elected Councillor of the NSW chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects and a director of SJB Architects in inner-city Sydney.
He was awarded the 40th Anniversary Churchill Fellowship in 2006, to study alternatives to conventional models of urban design.
More than anything, he loves to design and construct buildings.
Frank Stanisic
Stanisic Associates founder Frank Stanisic is a Sydney-based architect and urbanist.
His work is fuelled by an evolving interest in the diagram and frame as a basis for architectural invention, and the aesthetics of permeability.
Frank's projects have won numerous awards including Australian Institute of Architects' Special Jury, Wilkinson, Aaron Bolot and Frederick Romberg.
Daniel Griffin
Joint winner of the 2008 COLORBOND® Steel Biennale Prize, Daniel works for McBride Charles Ryan Architects and is currently teaching architecture at the University of Melbourne.
His award-winning architectural thesis at RMIT – where he is establishing a Humanitarian department – examined the urbanisation of Palestinian refugee camps.
