At the age of 92 died architect Rotija Tija Badjura. Among other things, she dedicated her work to the planning of kindergartens and schools. Hers is the idea of a round entrance through a sewer pipe. She designed almost to the end of her life when she assisted in renovating her kindergartens. In DESSA gallery, we presented her twice: in 2014 at the exhibition From small to big, half a Century of Kindergartens  and in 2019 at the exhibition To the Fore 4: the pioneers of Slovenian architecture, construction and design, created in collaboration with the France Stele Institute of Art History ZRC SAZU and Center of Architecture of Slovenia.
