Editorial information
Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® 123
We are, as always, proud to bring you a profile of Australia's most remarkable steel buildings and some insights into the inspired minds behind them.
For 35 years STEEL PROFILE® has tracked the accomplishments of Australia's foremost steel-inspired architects. Over that time one constant has been our relationship with architects, which is fundamental to ensuring that the finest examples of steel-based architecture reach our pages.
Our magazine is also made free to the industry so if you're not on our mailing list and would like to subscribe please get in touch with your professional credentials and contact details via steeldirect@bluescopesteel.com.
I very much look forward to hearing from and collaborating with you.

STEEL PROFILE® has an Editorial Advisory Panel to ensure that only projects of the highest calibre are selected for publication. The panellists are:
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 prizes.
Penny Fuller
Penny is a partner at Silvester Fuller, established in 2008. Silvester Fuller's first built projects have been awarded for their creativity and design sensibility. Penny's work draws on experience gained across a broad range of international projects. She is a previous recipient of the Australian Institute of Architects' Emerging Architect Prize.
Matthew Hyland
Matthew Hyland works with Woods Bagot. He obtained a Master of Architecture from the University of Tasmania and was awarded the 2015 BlueScope Glenn Murcutt Student Prize.
Having a preoccupation with enriching the ordinary, Matthew is continuing to develop and refine design processes though observation, research and experimentation
