This guide sets out a vision for galvanized steel based upon circular thinking. It makes the case for galvanized steel as a flexible, robust construction material, ideally suited to circular design. In addition to providing technical information for construction professionals, the publication showcases latest projects from across Europe and the UK. It makes clear how designing with circular principles in mind greatly reduces waste, maintenance and carbon burdens, whilst optimising the use of raw materials and existing products.

The Galvanizers Association Galvanizing Awards (GAGAs) have been running annually since 1994 to celebrate and recognise the innovative use of galvanized steel. The competition is open to architects, engineers, fabricators and artists for their work to be submitted in a range of five categories. Past winners have included Ian Ritchie Architects, C.F. Moller Architects, Bell Phillips and Tonkin Liu.
