The pop-up spatial installation was created in October 2024 during an international student workshop in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The workshop explored the redesign and reuse potential of the iconic Yugoslav kiosk K67, originally designed by architect Saša Mächtig in 1966. The resulting installation highlights the kiosk’s key features – modularity, flexibility, prefabrication, and transformability – through a deconstructivist, experimental approach. It was inspired by Mächtig’s axonometric diagram and reimagined as a structure that allows viewers, especially students, to explore the kiosk’s components, materials, and details firsthand.
