Maks Fabiani Award
Award recipients
Some of the recipients to date include architects Boris Podrecca and Marko Lavrenčič for their work planning the city square in Idrija. Andrej Pogačnik received the award for his analysis of optimal approaches to introducing administrative regions in Slovenia. A collectively authored research paper on a new spatial plan for the Municipality of Ljubljana also received the award and went on to receive an honourable mention from the ECTP in 2008. In 2008 and 2014 the main award was not presented due to a lack of works meeting the award's strict standards of excellence; in 2015 the professional guidelines for the master plan of the Port of Koper were awarded.
In 2017 the Planica Nordic Centre project by A.biro, Studio AKKA, and STVAR Architects won the sixth biennial Maks Fabiani Award, while the Glossary of Urban Planning Terms, published by the Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia in collaboration with the Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language (ZRC SAZU), received the honourable mention.
International call for projects
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Maks Fabiani's birth, the year 2015 saw a number of activities in honour of the architect. In that year, the Maks Fabiani Award was presented internationally for the first time, to acknowledge exceptional achievements in urban design, urban planning, regional planning, and spatial planning from 2005 to 2015 in Slovenia and the neighboring countries of Austria, Italy, Croatia, and Hungary.
