[edit] Overview
Oris appears two-monthly since 1998 and covers the mediaspace of Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia-Hercegovina.
The texts are written in croatian and english. The handled topics cover the whole whidth of architecture. The introduced projects display the international cross-section with an emphasis on works from the region. Additionally to architecture in a separate section topics on art in general are shown. For example Photography or Event-art, often with illustrations of the connections of those with the conventional understanding of the term 'architecture'
It is pleasing that the advertising is concentrated in a section on the beginning of every issue, not disturbing the train of reading.
The publisher Arhitekst also organises the annual 'Oris-days'. These are very popular to the architects of the region, as they are recognized for the mandatory further training ordered by the croatian architectural association. It is also a seldom chance to meet colleagues from all over the country. The sentence Man, I haven't seen YOU for ages is said to be the most spoken one. It is a two-day symposium with lectures from architects from all over the world.
