The acronym DESSA stands for "Delovna skupnost samostojnih arhitektov", which is the Slovene term for The Association of Freelance Architects, founded in [[Established::1982]] by 36 architects with the primary purpose of helping private architects work in a socialist society. It has provided both a business framework and a physical space for the activities of freelance architects who work in various design fields, ranging from urban planning, architecture, interior and graphic design to theatre set design.
 
  
With the possibility to establish private offices for architecture and in cooperation with the economic sector the role of DESSA changed and many famous and prosperous studios arise, naming only [[Atelier]], [[Bevk Perović Arhitekti]], [[Ravnikar-Potokar Architecture Bureau]] and several others.
 
  
Today [[DESSA Architecture Centre and Association]] works as a non-profit architecture organization publishing professional literature, organising lectures, excursions, and managing [[Arhitectural Gallery DESSA]] with around ten exhibitions of architecture each year, many of them international. DESSA is also one of the leading associations to nominate architectural achievements for international ''Mies van der Rohe prize''.

In Spring 1989 Boris Podrecca, an internationally-renowned Slovene architect currently working in Vienna, donated his design services for a new gallery/office complex in the centre of Ljubljana. The place is following the principles of Gottfried Semper, and is composed of four rooms, each devoted to a different building material - stone for the gallery, wood for the library, plastic for the office, and textile for the meeting room. All items except chairs were made specially for DESSA; chairs designed by Prof. Niko Kralj in 50s were donated by the manufacturer Stol Kamnik.

Background

The acronym DESSA stands for Delovna skupnost samostojnih arhitektov, or Association of Freelance Architects. The group was founded in 1982 by 36 architects for the primary purpose of helping private architects work in a socialist society. Since then it has provided both a business framework and a physical space for the activities of freelance architects who work in various design fields, from urban planning and architecture to interior design, graphic design, and theatre set design.

Through the opportunities the association provides for private architecture practices to cooperate with the private sector, its activities have led to the establishment of a number of now-famous studios, including ATELIERarhitekti, Bevk Perović Arhitekti, Ravnikar-Potokar Architecture Bureau. In 1996, with 74 founding members, DESSA restructured itself and registered as a non-profit cultural institution, DESSA Architecture Centre, with the objective of elevating general social awareness of the cultural value of architecture.

In 1991, DESSA founded Arhé, a design firm which at first assisted members in producing and marketing architectural designs. The firm later took over all of the commercial and financial responsibilities of DESSA, thus allowing the association to focus on cultural activities in the field of architecture. Today Arhé still "covers" several groups of architects, but is only one of many affiliated firms active on the architecture market.
