The jubilee fifth International Blok Conference, 2013. will be held on October 10-11 2013 in six panels: Heterotopias, Hospitality Design, Comercial Buildings, Hotels, Experiment in Architecture and Architecture as a respose to a problem. During the previous five years BLOK was the host of more than 60 well-known architects from 30 countries and almost all continents. There were 12 exhibitions and 8 printed monographs and brochures. The organizer of the BLOK has long-term goals, i.e. to incite the public, point to the importance of quality construction for everyday life and to the need to raise the standard in architecture and construction. The most recent designs and projects are presented on BLOK which the public has no opportunity to see or read in the media, the Internet and social networks. The Conference combines design and construction, thus connecting architects and investors, developers and contractors, professionals and general public. The BLOK Conference puts all the efforts to have the most eminent international experts who speak about their experiences and ideas in architecture and property. We hereby invite organizations and individuals to get involved in and support the organization of the Fifth International BLOK Conference.
