On April 17, 1989, DESSA architectural gallery opened its doors, at that time with the first Plečnik laureates exhibition. Since then, it has been actively promoting quality architecture, its artistic dimension and critical thinking. With its activities and program, it has become a central place for connecting architects, designers, photographers and related creators of different generations.
