The [[Open House Slovenia Festival]] (OHS) first took place in [[established::2010]], joining the ranks of the international Open House Worldwide network. This project is centred around the basic premise that for a set amount of days a selection of outstanding architectural projects gets to be opened to the wider public.  Resident houses, public architectures, various renovations and so on get to be presented ''in situ'', with the visitors thus getting a much deeper insight into contemporary architectural practices as well as the related technologies.

Every year, the largest architecture festival in Slovenia, [[Open House Slovenia Festival]], allows architecture enthusiasts and members of the public to visit architectural projects across the country free of charge. The aim of the festival is to present examples of the best practices of contemporary Slovenian architectural production and important cultural heritage as part of Slovenian culture and national identity.
  
The festival is organised by a non-profit institute [[Afront]], which in 2012 got awarded the [[Plečnik Award|Plečnik medal]] for this initiative. Under its name the institute also runs various other activities of a similar nature. It promotes effective dialogue between professionals, industry, politics, economy and the general public.

==About the festival==
  
For each rendition of the festival a committee of architecture, construction and spatial planning professionals chooses a selection of (relatively) new architectural works – private houses, educational or cultural institutions, business, sports, tourism and health facilities, open spaces, etc. Most often they were previously given various prizes, honourable mentions or were otherwise recognised as significant. These chosen works usually make up roughly half of the presented buildings (about a hundred of them each year), with the others being the ones already shown in the previous years. The latest contemporary architecture is featured alongside successful adaptations of historical buildings.
+
The [[Open House Slovenia Festival|OHS Festival]] is an annual three-day event that showcases over 80 architectural projects and open spaces, selected by an expert jury and viewed by visitors under the expert guidance of architects, investors, users and experts who have significantly contributed to the success of the project. Resident houses, public architecture, various renovations and sustainable architecture get to be presented in situ, with the visitors thus getting a much deeper insight into contemporary architectural practices as well as the related technologies.
  
Organised tours are guided by the architects or building owners/users, with more than 300 architects, owners, event organisers and volunteers participating in the event every year. All events are free, with the visits to private houses needing to be pre-booked online.

A number of other events are featured during the festival – film screenings, city walks, workshops, lectures, exhibitions (in 2014, for example, one on the issues of architecture and sensory deprivation), and so on. Usually a part of the programme is also aimed at children.

Since 2013, the [[Open House Slovenia Festival|OHS Festival]] has been organised by [[Afront]], Institute for spatial innovation, a non-governmental organisation that has been working for over ten years in the field of culture, popularising architecture and architectural heritage, and raising awareness of the importance of well-designed spaces in improving the quality of life. In 2012 it was awarded the [[Plečnik Award|Plečnik medal]] for Open House Slovenia initiative. In addition to the OHS Festival, the institute manages the OHS online platform, organizes cultural events and architectural exhibitions, runs the Invisible Houses project and records the podcast Odprto (Eng. Open).

==Open House Worldwide network==
  
The Open House initiative began in London as early as 1992. It was launched by Victoria Thornton, who felt that the established mediums of presenting architecture often tend to obscure its actual qualities. She addressed this discrepancy by literally opening the doors into architectural works, thus launching the Open house London, an enterprise that has fast grown into the Open House Worldwide network.  
+
''Open House Worldwide'' is a network of 50 organisations hosting festivals and dialogue about architecture, design and cities across the globe. In 2019, almost 1 million people participated in Open House events with nearly 2 million visits to buildings enabled by more than 18,000 volunteers. Taken together, ''Open House Worldwide'' is the largest celebration of the urban landscape in the world. The network was founded and is administered by Open City, a charity registered in the United Kingdom.
  
The expanded Open house initiative offers architectural events throughout the whole year. Currently it comprises about 30 cities from around the world, with the Slovene node of the network being the only one focusing on the whole country (thus also functioning as some sort of a national showcase).

Web presentations of the chosen houses are equipped with photo galleries, short explanatory texts, basic technical details and lists of the people and companies involved. Thus the OHS initiative has created the biggest online Slovene contemporary architectural guide, which in 2016 featured around 300 buildings and spatial arrangements and more than 500 authors/architects. One can also browse through a list of select architectural bureaus with their short descriptions and contacts.
+
Over the years, the online platform [[Open House Slovenia (OHS)]] has become the largest channel for contemporary Slovenian architecture. It encompasses over 950 projects, presented with photographs, information about authors and collaborators, and a description of the project's design. One can also browse through a list of select architectural studios with their references and contacts, and search through the companies that provide great services and products in the field of architecture and design.

On request the Open House Slovenia organises custom made guided tours for individuals and groups throughout the whole year. Furthermore, the OHS collective also sets up sporadic tours to events like the Venice Biennale of Architecture or various cities in Slovenia and its wider region.

[[Open House Slovenia (OHS)]] is a contemporary Slovenian architecture platform and the largest architecture festival in Slovenia. It’s mission is to raise awareness of the values of quality designed space and to improve living culture, as well as spatial literacy. OHS connects professionals with the general public and provide personal experience of outstanding Slovenian architecture.
  
In promoting its objective of sustainable, socially responsible and innovative architecture, OHS is cooperating with various partners (among them the [[Museum of Architecture and Design]], the [[Piran Days of Architecture]], the ARHITUR conference, the IEDC - Bled School of Management, and others). In 2014 it organised the conference called 'Create a market for wooden products and services', followed by a conference and business meeting called 'Opportunities in sustainable construction' in 2015 and a participatory conference for business opportunities titled 'Innovation in healthy wooden sustainable buildings' in 2016.
