The Piran Days of Architecture is an important meeting of architects, students of architecture and amateurs from Central Europe. It presents significant contribution for promotion of Slovene architecture in the context of a broader European space, meanwhile offering a platform for effective cooperation of architects, economists and politicians, and the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences. The Piran Days of Architecture were initiated by Slovene architect Vojteh Ravnikar (1943–2010).
Recent themes of the seminar have included Between the Rational and the Irrational in Architecture (2003), Architect and Society (2004), Architectural Policies (2005), Exhibited Architecture (2006), PDA – 25 years of architecture (2007), Architectural Diversity (2008), and New Challenges (2009).
