Sažetak
Since the late 1950s the Yugoslav Adriatic coast became a popular tourist destination. The rapid development of an economically deprived littoral was one of the strategic priorities of socialist Yugoslavia. For such purpose, an “integral” regional planning approach was conceptualized with aim to channel economic demands, develop modern tourist resorts and preserve both nature and historical settlements. Hotels and tourist resorts emerged as one of the most exciting typologies for architects, resulting in a quick evolution of various architectural typologies, urban planning methodologies and interior design. Planned tourism in Yugoslavia set in motion a dual process that on one hand lead to the advancements of the architectural culture, and on the other developed “lucrative landscapes” competitive on international markets which are mainly still functional today. Mass tourism in Yugoslavia was a fundamental “modernizing device” which affected reconfiguration of urban littoral, unexpectedly producing urban layer comparable to the most notable achievements of Adriatic urban history. Lecture will outline evolution of tourist typologies of 1960s and 1970s, presenting uniquely wide range of architectural concepts that reconciled demands for large- scale developments and sensitive interpretations of Mediterranean context.
