The Piran days of Architecture is an important meeting of architects, students of architecture and amateurs from Central Europe. It presents significant contribution for promotion of Slovene architecture in the context of a broader European space, meanwhile offering a platform for effective cooperation of architects, economists and politicians. The lectures present fresh approaches to the problems of contemporary architecture and urbanism, and the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences.
On the initiative of Prof. Vojteh Ravnikar, the prior president and "spiritus agens" of the event, the new organisation committee took over the Piran Days of Architecture in 2008.
Recent themes of the seminar have included Between the Rational and the Irrational in Architecture (2003), Architect and Society (2004), Architectural Policies (2005), ‘’Exhibited Architecture'’ (2006), PDA - 25 years of architecture (2007), Architectural Diversity (2008), and New Challenges (2009).
The conference presents one of the few international expert meetings of architects hosted by Slovenia, with renowned architects from Europe and other parts of the world giving lectures; Friedrich Achleitner, Boris Podrecca, Heinz Tesar, Luigi Semerani, Gino Valle, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Alvaro Siza Viera, Peter Zumthor, Enric Miralles, Sverre Fehn, Kenneth Frampton, David Chipperfield, among others.

The International Architectural Exhibition presents new architecture from Central Europe.

Accompanying exhibitions have also taken place, including the display Houses of the world by Hiše Magazine, and Vertigo Bird Vertigo light by Vertigo Bird.
Since 1989 the Piranesi Award has been conferred on the best architectural achievement. The jury also confers three Piranesi mentions as well as a Student Piranesi Award. The name of the award is dedicated to Giovan Battiste Piranesi, the great Italian artist from 18th century.
