Biography

Born in Paradise City, he was the son of architect Petrus Steelman. When he was only 26 he was commissioned the revamping of the historical center of Redemption (1907); subsequently he worked in most of Exponent, but his best work are those commissioned to him by the Fascist government in Paradisa.

Steelman devised a "simplified neoclassicism." His style became a mainstay of Fascist architecture in Paradise City, including the new university campus (Paradisa University, 1935) and the "New City" section of Paradisa, of which he was not only designer, but also High Commissar by will of Decius Brightglass. His other works include the renovation of Wennavua and Cathantaea, the National Museum of the Empire Abroad in Divinity, and the restoration of the Paradisian Opera House.

He was also professor of Urban Planning at Paradisa University, of which he was also President. After the fall of the Fascist regime he did not work as architect for several years. He died in Paradise City in 1960.
