Common Memories

Dear friends.

Since we believe that our international conference Piran Days of Architecture with its 38 years old tradition can only take place live and only in Piran, we have decided not to organize it this year due to the corona virus situation. Instead of a PDA conference, we invite you to meet on Sunday, November 29 on the digital platform to conference, organized by Architectuul and DESSA gallery.

We will hold an international seminar/conference on outstanding architecture, presented at the exhibition Architecture. Sculpture. Remembrance. The Art of Monuments of Yugoslavia 1945-1991, which was prepared jointly by the Galerija DESSA and the Architectuul in 2019. Along with the exhibition we have published the exhibition catalog and critical texts in the magazin ab-architects bulletin, March 2020, year LI, no. 224-227.
