Since 1989 the Piranesi Award is bestowed annually by the Piranesi Foundation at the Piran Days of Architecture conference for best architectural achievement. The international jury also confers two Piranesi Honorable Mentions as well as a Student Piranesi Award. All candidates are presented at the International Architectural Exhibition of realised architectonic works, shown at the civic gallery Piran City Gallery.

The prestigious prize is named after Giovanni Battista Piranesi, the great Italian artist from 18th century whose family was connected to Piran, where the architectural conference Piran Days of Architecture takes place.


Since 2009 the cash prize is given to the winners by Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning - the grant Piranesi Award in value 3.000 EUR, both Piranesi Honorable Mentions and a Student Piranesi Award in value 1.000 EUR.

Background

Every year the national selectors select five projects from their country which compete for the Piranesi Award. The most important criterion for the selection is to have made a step forward in finding architectural solutions within a certain "milieu". The jury consists of the participating lecturers of the international conference Piran Days of Architecture.

In 2009 a total of 31 projects from Austria, Czech Republic, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Slovakia, and Slovenia took part in the international exhibition for the International 2009 Piranesi Award, which was granted to decaARCHITECTURE from Greece for the project Aloni house in Antiparos.

Recent Piranesi Award winners were Miha Klinar, Špela Kuhar, Blaž Medja, Uroš Pavasovič, and Robert Potokar from Slovenia (2004), Idis Turato & Saša Randić from Croatia (2005), Dean Lah & Milan Tomac - Enota Architects from Slovenia (2006), Studio Njirić+Arhitekti from Croatia (2007), and Ján Studený and Martin Vojta from Slovakia (2008).
