Weekend With Oris has become a traditional get-together of architects, designers, artists and businessmen. This year, it is taking place in Dubrovnik third year in a row.
The selection of speakers is the reflection of the editorial concept of Oris magazine and it relies on the network of associates and authors which Oris has developed through the period of more than 19 years. The balance of already established and new authors, as well as the diversity of speakers, allows the visitors insight into most interesting fragments of the recent global architectural and cultural production.
This year's Weekend With Oris Dubrovnik will take place from 16 to 18 March. The main focus of the event are the recent works of one of the greatest architects of our time – Tadao Ando.
