Publication history

Building was first published in September 1907 by the Building Publishing Company,[1] established by George Augustine Taylor and his wife Florence Mary Taylor.[7] The magazine "offered influential commentary on the built environment in Australia for the next half century".[7] Florence Taylor wrote a regular column in the magazine which highlighted women in architecture.[8]

From 1927-October 1930, the magazine became the official organ of the Federated Master Builders' Association of Australia, and from November 1930 – 1942, the official organ of the Master Builders' Federation of Australia.[1]

In September 1942 the title changed to Building and Engineering (1942-1952);[2] the magazine then became known as Building, Lighting and Engineering (1952-1968).[3] In 1968 the title changed to Building (1968-1970), and then to Products, Projects and Trends in Building (1971-1972).[5] In 1972 the title reverted to Building, also known as Building : Australia's National Building Journal (September 1972 - November 1972).[6] In November 1972 the magazine was absorbed by Construction.[9]

gollark: Not really.
gollark: The NuclearCraft chemical processing may be annoying, but at least I have to think about the process and not just plonk down a single block.
gollark: Moving a bit beyond that, and applying to the previous version too, the way it just provides simple oneblock solutions to everything, *and then no more complex better ones*.
gollark: - useless first tiers- microcrafting requiring random components- requires being in overworld for grains of infinity^ my main criticisms of EIO 5.
gollark: No.
