Named after Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778), an eminent Italian graphic artist and architect of 18th century whose family was connected to Piran, the Piranesi Award is bestowed annually since 1989 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 for the prestigious prize are presented at the International Architectural Exhibition of realised architectonic works, shown at the civic gallery Piran City Gallery.

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 jury consists of the participating lecturers of the international conference Piran Days of Architecture. The most important criterion for the selection is to have made a step forward in finding architectural solutions within a certain "milieu".

International 2009 Piranesi Honorable Mention went to Laura Peretti (Studio Insito) from Italy for the project Watermills Houses’ renovation, and Andreas Cukrowicz and Anton Nachbaur – Sturm (Cukrowicz Nachbaur Architekten) from Austria for the project Community Center in St. Gerold.

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).
