House of Architecture Maribor

House of Architecture Maribor is dedicated to the promotion of contemporary Slovene and international architecture and contemporary trends in this area. It started as one of the projects of the University of Maribor’s Research and Arts Zone (RAZ:UM) for the Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012. The heads of the project were architects and professors Dean Korošak and Uroš Lobnik.

In cooperation with other architects' associations in Slovenia and the wider region House of Architecture in Maribor takes care for the presentation and promotion of contemporary architecture, and offers to Maribor a space for exhibitions, conferences and presentations of contents related to contemporary architecture and space. "With the development of the study program of architecture we found that we need to anchor the architecture even more strongly into the public environment", said Uroš Lobnik. Throughout the years, both student projects and works of non-established and already established architects, landscape architects and spatial planners were presented at the main exhibition place and at other locations.
