This is the fifth year of the Structural Steel Design Awards sponsored by the British Steel Corporation and the British Constructional Steelwork Association Ltd and organised by Constrado. Six structures have been selected for awards and it is interesting to note that each represents a type of building or bridge for which there has been no previous award. This demonstrates the versatility of steel and its ability to provide economic solutions for all design situations. It also demonstrates the ability of designers to find solutions to new problems \u2013 for instance the buildings at Howdon which are moved over the workplace instead of the reverse, the unguyed masts for the GLC where space was restricted and appearance was important \u2013 in fact each of the six designs has a degree of innovation which gives it considerable interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
