We kindly invite you to a curator's Tour and 2 panels
discussing the planning history and legacy of Socialist Holiday Resorts on the Adriatic Coast of Croatia

During the raise of the mass tourism, from the early 1960s until the 80s, an extensive development of tourist complexes and infrastructure fundamentally affected the modernization of the Croatian Adriatic coast. Architects and urban planners were faced with the challenge of responding to new and often contradictory demands of radical urban transformations. Architects and urban planners, who had been active participants of these dynamic development processes, will speak about their role and the values they advocated.
After 1991, Croatian tourism industry and its physical infrastructure underwent a long and multifaceted crisis. Long-term effects of the Homeland war, privatization, ownership transformations, legal uncertainty, and new standards in tourism industry caused discontinuities. For the quarter of the century after the fall of socialism, investments had directed into recycling the inherited resources, while many tourist complexes are still in state of ruins.
