International Piranesi Award

The International Piranesi Award, is an biennial award for architectural projects that were created in several nations in Central Europe and the Balkans.

Started in 1989, the Piranesi Award is given out at the Piran Days of Architecture international conference in Piran, Slovenia. It was named after Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Participating countries include Austria, Bosnia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Herzegovina, Hungary, Italy, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

Main award

The projects presented at the Piranesi exhibition, are selected and nominated at the end of October by the national selectors of the participating countries. Each selector can propose five projects. Fifty architectural realizations compete for the award.

The distinguished Piranesi Award, two Piranesi Honorable Mentions, and one Piranesi Student's Honorable Mention are selected by an international jury consisting of annual PDA conferencing lecturers and conferred by the honorary sponsor of the PDA Conference.

In 1989, Bogdan Bogdanović received the first Piranesi award for the Dudik Memorial Park in Vukovar, Croatia.[1]
