Editorial information
Welcome to STEEL PROFILE® 122
As a longstanding supporter of excellence in Australian architecture and 30-year Principal Corporate Partner of the Australian Institute of Architects, BlueScope congratulates all recipients of the 2015 National Architecture Awards.
This issue features Andrew Maynard Architects' Tower House which received the highest National Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions): the Eleanor Cullis-Hill Award.
The most prestigious COLORBOND® award was saved for a project with a delightfully contemporary, scalloped form that is refined in its expression and clearly demonstrates the suitability of steel as a complementary material to enhance heritage fabric. We particularly applaud Cox Architecture, Walter Brooke and Hames Sharley for the Adelaide Oval Redevelopment (see its Western Grandstand in STEEL PROFILE® 112) being awarded the 2015 National COLORBOND® Award for Steel Architecture. The project also received an Award for Public Architecture.
We look forward to discovering and sharing many more potential award winners in 2016.
