Editorial information
Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® magazine edition 130
Since 1981, STEEL PROFILE® magazine has charted the rise and use of steel as a dynamic element of Australian architecture. It has showcased inspiring and innovative designs of all scales and types – from bespoke houses to city-shaping infrastructure.
Importantly, STEEL PROFILE® magazine has also celebrated the architects that have helped to establish steel as an essential part of Australia’s architectural vernacular.
With that in mind, it has been extremely beneficial to attend the Australian Institute of Architects National Conference as the Principal Corporate Partner and hear from architects about how steel is shaping their emerging designs, and also to attend the recent Australian Steel Institute’s Convention as a Platinum Sponsor to talk with industry leaders about the future of steel in Australia.
Reading through issue 130, I’m impressed by the stunning projects, and the level of coordination, trust and goodwill that goes into making a good project, great. It’s never been clearer that behind every great project is an even greater team of individuals, all focused on contributing and delivering on a project’s shared vision.
The projects chosen for this issue are testament to that shared vision, sense of responsibility and reward for effort.

Frank Stanisic

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.
