About The idea for the project was born out of combination of friendship, a love of thinking and, last but not least, a love of space, materials and design. The present pace of architectural production is neglecting the vital knowledge embodied in traditional craftsmanship and material cultures, our relationship with our shared environment is also being alienated. With a responsibility to the future, we want to shine a light on the inaccessible knowledge that is being lost with every generation, and to create a space for the accessible transfer of such knowledge. 

O Zamisel za projekt je nastala iz prepleta prijateljstva, ljubezni do razmišljanja in nenazadnje ljubezni do prostora, materialov in oblikovanja. S hitrostjo arhitekturne produkcije se ključna znanja o tradicionalnih spretnostnih, obvladovanju materiala zapostavlja, odtujuje se tudi odnos do našega skupnega okolja. Z odgovornostjo do prihodnosti želimo osvetljevati težje dostopna znanja in ustvariti prostor, da jih prenesemo v okolje, kjer bodo dosegljiva mnogim zainteresiranim.

Galerija Dessa DESSA gallery is first Slovene architectural gallery, founded in 1987. In 2019 it celebrates 30 years of active work. Since then it presents and encourages high quality architecture, innovative design, socially oriented projects, responsible architects, creative designers, engaged investors and long-term visions. We strongly belive burning problems of our time can not be solved without architectural profession.

Galerija DESSA (akronim DESSA pomeni »Delovna skupnost samostojnih arhitektov«) je prva slovenska arhitekturna galerija. Temeljna delovna skupnost TDS DESSA je bila ustanovljena že decembra 1982, galerija na Židovski stezi pa deluje od aprila 1989. Ves čas svojega delovanja prikazuje in spodbuja kakovostno arhitekturo in oblikovanje, socialno naravnane projekte, odgovorne in angažirane arhitekte, oblikovalce in naročnike. Verjamemo, da perečih problemov časa ni mogoče reševati brez arhitekturne stroke. 

ID20 Institute: A vision to take the heritage innovation one step further led a team of
young enthusiasts and entrepreneurs to establish the ID20 Institute.
Based in Idrija, Slovenia, a former world’s second largest mercury mine
and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the intertwinement of heritage and
technology created the perfect environment for innovation in business,
service and creativity sectors.

ID20 je bil ustanovljen z namenom preobrazbe dediščine iz stvari preteklosti v snov prihodnosti. Zavod deluje v Idriji, kjer se je nekoč nahajal drugi največji rudnik živega srebra na svetu, danes pa je mesto s svojo bogato rudarsko dediščino vpisano na UNESCO Seznam svetovne dediščine. Preplet dediščine in inovativnosti je v Idriji ustvaril idealne pogoje za nadaljnji razvoj na poslovnem, storitvenem in kreativnem področju.
