Every summer season, the sun-drenched coasts of Bulgaria and Croatia turn into densely inhabited, intensively exploited tourism industry hotspots. This book traces the various architectural and urban planning strategies pursued there since the mid 1950s, in order first to create then to further develop modern holiday destinations. It portrays (late-) modern tourism architecture and resorts of a remarkable quality and typological diversity, which have persisted both as a playground for the domestic labour force and as a viable product on the international market. Yet the authors focus above all on how, in the wake of political change and the privatization of business, individual resorts and outstanding buildings have been economically and physically restructured, in a myriad of ways, leaving a legacy of deserted ruins, cautious renovations, exorbitant conversions and on-going public protest.

With photographs by Nikola Mihov, Wolfgang Thaler, et al.

Industry Reviews

Erstaunliches offenbart sich dabei dem Leser durch die detailgenaue Analyse der Autoren: Gerade die staatliche Planung in Osteuropa sorgte fuer staedtebaulich kompakte Anlagen, die Naturschutz, Freizeitvergnuegen und Interesse an Devisen miteinander in ein ausgewogenes Verhaeltnis brachten. Genau dieses Gleichgewicht ist seit dem politischen Umbruch - der auch eine geistig-moralische Wende war - empfindlich gestoert. Privatisierung, Wildwuchs, Zerstoerung, Geschmacklosigkeit praegen den zweiten Teil des vorliegenden Bandes, der sich mit den Entwicklungen des Ferienwesens seit 1990 befasst und dabei Gruseliges zutage foerdert.
