Editorial information
Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® Magazine
We are, as always, proud to bring our readers a collection of the finest steel architecture in the country and some insights into the adventurous, creative minds behind it.
It is telling that every major project featured in this issue has been recently recognised with a prestigious award. This includes many 2015 Australian Institute of Architects state Awards and COLORBOND® Awards for Steel Architecture. Congratulations to the architects.
This year saw BlueScope's support for the Australian Institute of Architects as its Principal Corporate Partner reach 30 years, a milestone we celebrated at the National Architecture Conference in Melbourne, which explored the theme of risk.
The architectural profession is compelled to flirt with risk, to be daring and take a leap of faith in design in order to create something special and unique.
We approach risk through the products and product solutions we supply. We recognise we have a key role to play in risk-mitigation, by designing compliant products and solutions that support innovation in the architectural profession and contribute to its advancement.

More than anything, he loves to design buildings
Frank Stinisic
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 prizes.
James Loder
James Loder is a graduate architect working at John Wardle Architects. Graduating from RMIT with a Master of Architecture (First Class Honours) in 2012, James was awarded the 2013 BlueScope Steel Glenn Murcutt Student Prize.
