Architectural education has often advanced at a slower pace than the rapid transformations of spatial practice and society. Within this imbalance, the architectural workshop emerges as a condensed yet intensive format of experimentation, providing a distinctive environment for testing pedagogical approaches. This study critically examines the workshop The (Iconic) Red Kiosk (Banja Luka, 2024) through the lens of constructivist theory. Drawing on an established framework of constructivist learning environments, the evaluation demonstrates the relevance of constructivist criteria for assessing workshop pedagogy. At the same time, it underscores the workshop’s value as a pedagogical model, capable of fostering critical, interdisciplinary, and culturally engaged learning within architectural education.
