At the start of the 2024/25 academic year, a workshop based on a "design and build" approach was organized with the aim of revitalizing the kiosk K67. Students and mentors engaged in a comprehensive exploration—ranging from identifying the optimal location and planning the renovation to designing and organizing the kiosk’s future functions, ultimately carrying out the physical renovation and bringing it back to life. The primary objective of the workshop is to revitalize the kiosk, transforming it beyond its original purpose into a multifunctional space for the faculty—a hub enriched by social interaction and creative collaboration among students and staff. At the same time, this complex, multi-phase process provided students with valuable practical experience in working with architectural and design heritage—an essential competency for emerging architects.

Two students from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana, who—as part of a group of 19 students and mentors doc. Anja Vidic, asist. Katarina Čakš, Tim Jevšenak, Samo Kralj, and Luka Plut—have spent the last two years executing and coordinating the project »K67: The Next Chapter«. A dilapidated kiosk arrived at the Faculty of Architecture. Anton Jakob Bonča in Žana Korenjak will present the students' vision and the course of the project that enabled its revival.
