Publication history

Building was first published in September 1907 by the Building Publishing Company,[1] established by George and Florence Taylor.[8] The magazine "offered influential commentary on the built environment in Australia for the next half century".[8] Florence Taylor wrote a regular column in the magazine which highlighted women in architecture.[9]

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.[7]
