Editorial information
Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® 129
We acknowledge that architects, designers and specifiers of every great building constantly walk the tightrope between new creative territories and commercial responsibility. So we are always genuinely excited to encounter projects that balance form and function; projects that provide a renewed sense of cultural identity and community, and those that are destined to re-invigorate our urban spaces.
Great buildings are a mix of art and science, inspiration and discipline. To support the needs of the industry, we’ve been busy revamping STEELSELECT.COM.AU – BlueScope’s product specification website – making it even more relevant for today’s professionals.
For anyone unfamiliar with STEEL SELECT®, it provides industry-recognised specification tools, resources and information to support specifiers’ commercial responsibilities, whilst also allowing the freedom and certainty to push into new, rich creative territories.
Whether you're an architect, designer, engineer or project manager, STEEL SELECT® can make the process of researching, selecting and specifying steel products and construction solutions faster, easier and more accurate. It's a one-stop shop to support you, whether in the office or on-site. There, you can access product and technical information from leading Australian manufacturers*, handy tools, and project inspiration.
Finally, BlueScope is once again proud to be the Principal Corporate Partner of the Australian Institute of Architects and we are looking forward to the 2019 National Architecture Conference – Collective Agency. If you are attending, we look forward to hearing your thoughts on what is precious and how the industry can collectively empower and improve the practice of Australian architecture.

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.
