Zupagrafika "Kiosk" — product description "Kiosk: The Last Modernist Booths Across Central and Eastern Europe" is the latest publication from Zupagrafika, a visual documentation of the small-scale architecture that defined the urban landscape of the former Eastern Bloc and Yugoslavia. The book focuses on mass-produced modular structures from the 1970s to 1990s, such as the legendary Slovenian K67 the so-called "Jugokiosk" , the Polish Kami, and the Soviet "Batyskaf."

The book chronicles the fate of these icons of modernism: from restored gems to abandoned relics of the past.
