Editorial information
Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® 125
This issue marks the 50th anniversary of an iconic building product that has become a mainstay of Australian construction for its versatility, durability and enduring aesthetics. As such, we are celebrating the milestone with an edition commemorating and celebrating COLORBOND® steel.
As a longstanding supporter of excellence in Australian architecture and 31-year Principal Corporate Partner of the Australian Institute of Architects, BlueScope congratulates all recipients of the 2016 National Architecture Awards – and especially applauds the National and stated-based COLORBOND® Award for Steel Architecture winners for buildings that exemplify inspirational and innovative design.
As part of our 50th Anniversary of COLORBOND® steel celebrations, we will be reaching out to you. We look forward to working with you in 2017 and beyond to help develop the best building solutions for your projects.

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.
