“Piran Days of Architecture”, which will take place on November 19, is an international architectural conference that started back in 1983. The conference is held in Piran in Slovenia each year, and evaluates current trends in architecture.
The aim of the conference is to underline the latest trends of the world architectural scene and introduce the most progressive and innovative ideas of architectural production from the region. As part of the Piran Days of Architecture, in addition to international conferences with a series of speakers, guests and lectures, an exhibition and award for the Piranesi Award – the award for the most successful implementation of recently completed projects of architectural practices, will be given.
