Small enough to stand beside a pavement, the K67 makes architecture into a repeatable object. Slovenian designer Saša Janez Mächtig designed the system in Yugoslavia in 1966; its reinforced-polyfiber shell, steel and glass give it the precision of a manufactured product. A kiosk is also a meeting point: an aperture between the worker inside and the passer-by outside. Reading it alongside a prefabricated apartment block reveals a shared question at two scales: what happens when a room becomes a module?
