GOMBAK, 21 October 2025: Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED) marked the returns of its annual festival this year with renewed vision and elements. The highlights of the KAEDFEST 2025 were Floravore Food Bazaar and Bouquet of Finds Marketplace. 

The festival was aimed to realise the entrepreneurial spirit through these events which offer a platform for showcasing creativity and business potential. 

Floravore Food Bazaar, held at KAED parking lot, was a place for students and IIUM community to indulge themselves with mouth-watering food and refreshing beverage galore from students and small enterprises. The vendors offered a variety of delicacies from homemade desserts to modern fusion treats and iced beverages. 

Meanwhile, Bouquet of Finds Marketplace transformed the venue into a bustling hub filled with thrift clothing, souvenirs and personal accessories. 

The event showcased the creativity and entrepreneurial flair of the participants, offering visitors a chance to browse through curated thrift pieces, handmade crafts, and unique keepsakes.  Visitors also had the chance to buy flower bouquets at affordable prices and capture memories at the photo booth.

The wide array of booths reflected the creativity and entrepreneurial energy thriving within the KAED community.

Inspired by the 52 Hz whale, which symbolises the unheard voices, this year’s KAEDFEST focused on connection, expression, and sustainability. It showcased how students can bridge design, empathy, and innovation through engaging exhibitions, marketplaces, and interactive experiences.***
