The project is about time and hierarchy, it’s a time vortex and a privileged paradise. The project is based on the ruin of abbey Jumièges, Normandy, France. The abbey has kept being destroyed and rebuilt during the past millennium and the architectural style is always changing through the time. Hierarchy was created within this privileged paradise. The hotel has swallowed the entire ruin and all the history, strategies, like mixing & misusing of programs and collisions with history are applied to it. I’m always interested in the introversion of architecture, a desire of being narcissism and vulnerable and the meaning of hierarchy. This project can be read as a terminal of privilege, and model of aggressive arrogant but reasonable attitude towards the history. It makes me contemplating the relations between negativism and hedonism and society.

Covid-19 Salgını sürecinde turizm üzerine pek çok araştırmalar yapıldı. Bu araştırmaların bazılarının sonuçlarında, kısıtlamalar sırasında yapılan anketler ile kısıtlama kalktıktan sonra insanların eylemleri arasında farklılıklar olduğu gözlemlenmiştir (Tekin, 2020). Genel olarak kısıtlamaların kalkması durumunda 2020 yaz aylarında tatile gitmeyeceğini bildiren sonuçlar sayıca daha fazla çıkmış olsa da, yaz aylarında bir çok ülkenin kısıtlamaları kaldırmasıyla halk doğa turizmine ve sahillere yoğun bir talep göstermiş, turizm Temmuz ve Ağustos aylarında oldukça hareketlenmiştir. Talep gören turizm yapılarından biri de resort otellerdir. Club Patara Resort’un villa müdürü Ahmet Çakır ile yapılan sözlü görüşme sonucunda 2019 Temmuz – Ağustos doluluk oranı %70 iken bu oran salgın sürecinde 2020 Temmuz – Ağustos aylarında %100 ‘e ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışma ile Antalya Kaş’a bağlı Kalkan’da yer alan Club Patara Resort üzerinden resortların Covid-19 salgını sürecinde kullanıcı tarafından neden daha çok tercih edilebilir olduğunun sorusuna yanıt bulunmaya çalışılmıştır. Konu ile ilgili bir literatür araştırması yapılmış, henüz çok yeni karşılaşılan ve etkileri devam etmekte olan Covid-19 ile ilgili güncel sorunlar ve öneriler incelenmiştir. Club Patara Resort’un mimari Turhan Kaşo ile sözlü görüşme yapılarak tasarım öncelikleri ve çevre faktörleri hakkında bilgi toplanmıştır. Yerinde yapılan incelemeler neticesinde elde edilen bulgular çerçevesinde, turizm yapılarının mimari özelliklerinin pandemi sürecinde ‘yeni’ kullanıcı gereksinimlerini göz önüne alınarak mekânsal düzenlemeleri araştırılmıştır. During the Covid-19 Epidemic, many researches were conducted on tourism. In the results of some of these studies, it has been observed that there are differences between the surveys conducted during the restrictions and the actions of the people after the restriction is abolished (Tekin, 2020). In general, although the results stating that if the restrictions are abolished, they will not go on vacation in the summer of 2020, the public has shown an intense demand for nature tourism and beaches with the abolition of restrictions in the summer months, and tourism has become quite active in July and August. One of the in demand tourism structures is resort hotels. As a result of a interview with Club Patara Resort’s villa manager Ahmet Çakır, the occupancy rate was 70% in July - August 2019, while this rate reached 100% in July - August during the epidemic process. With this study, it was tried to find an answer to the question of why the resorts were more preferable by the user during the Covid-19 epidemic over Club Patara Resort located in Kalkan, Antalya Kas. A literature review has been conducted on the subject, and current problems and suggestions related to Covid-19, which are very recently encountered and whose effects are ongoing, have been examined. An interview was held with the architect Turhan Kaşo of Club Patara Resort, and information was collected about design priorities and environmental factors. Within the framework of the findings obtained as a result of on-site examinations, the spatial arrangements of the architectural features of tourism buildings were investigated by considering the ‘new’ user needs during the pandemic process.

Between the mid 1950s and early 70s, the People’s Republic of Bulgaria planned and built four large-scale holiday resorts on the Black Sea Coast – for domestic ‘social tourism’ as well as for international holidaymakers. According to fordist principles, sun, sand and sea were turned into an all-round ‘tourist product’, including architecture and urbanism as essential components. The seaside resorts were testing grounds for an uncompromisingly modern architecture, urbanism and lifestyle – with comfortable hotel complexes, restaurants and leisure facilities in a wide variety of architectural styles and design themes. Modern spaces par excellence were created, interfaces for professional exchange across the Iron Curtain and places of encounter between tourists from East and West. Tourism became an important sector for the Bulgarian economy under state socialism and has remained so under present-day capitalism. However, the shifts in organizational structures and property relations since 1989 have profoundly changed the resorts’ architectural appearance. This contribution discusses how planning practices and architectural images of modernism have shifted from era to era, starting with the resorts’ foundation in the 1950s and their development towards mass tourism in the 1960s. It then deals with privatization and the construction boom on the Black Sea Coast in the post-socialist decades. Case studies of the Sunny Beach and Albena resorts demonstrate how differently tourism, planning and real estate actors deal with the built heritage and modernist ideas today: from radical neglect within an eclectic urban chaos to a more respectful, clear-sighted upgrading of the original modern architectures. Von Mitte der 1950er Jahre bis in die frühen 70er plante und baute die Volksrepublik Bulgarien vier großmaßstäbliche Ferienresorts an der Schwarzmeerküste - für den bulgarischen 'Sozialtourismus' wie auch für internationale Urlaubsgäste. Nach fordistischen Prinzipien wurden Sonne, Sand und Meer in ein umfassendes 'touristisches Produkt' verwandelt, wobei Architektur und Städtebau eine besondere Rolle spielten: Die Küstenresorts waren Laboratorien einer kompromisslos modernen Architektur, Planung und Lebensweise - mit komfortablen Hotelkomplexen, Restaurants und Freizeiteinrichtungen in vielfältigen Architekturstilen und Gestaltungsthemen. So entstanden moderne Räume par excellence, Schnittstellen für den blockübergreifenden Planungsdiskurs und Begegnungsorte für Urlauberinnen aus Ost und West. Seitdem hat sich der Tourismus zu einem der wichtigsten Wirtschaftssektoren Bulgariens entwickelt. Der Wandel der Wirtschafts- und Eigentumsstrukturen nach 1989 führte allerdings auch zu einer tiefgreifenden baulichen Transformation der Resorts. In diesem Beitrag wird ausgeführt, wie sich die Planungspraktiken und Architektursprachen über die Jahrzehnte veränderten, beginnend mit der Gründung der Resorts in den 1950er Jahren und der Ausprägung des Massentourismus während der 1960er Jahre. Dann wird die Privatisierung und der Bauboom an der Schwarzmeerküste nach dem Systemwechsel in den Blick genommen. Anhand der kontrastierenden Beispiele der Urlaubsresorts Sonnenstrand und Albena wird dargestellt, wie mit dem baulichen Erbe der Moderne in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten umgegangen wurde: radikale Missachtung des Bestehenden und planlose bauliche Verdichtung auf der einen und weitsichtigere Aufwertungsstrategien innerhalb des modernen Bestands auf der anderen Seite.

During the period of 1991-2013, the Lithuanian Baltic seaside suffered very intensive, often unsustainable processes of privatisation and urbanisation. These processes took place in the resort of Palanga and other areas such as Giruliai, Melnragė, Karklė, Sventoji, etc. The result contributed to the loss of recreational potential there. During the spontaneous formation of the Lithuanian maritime metropolis, the state of the quality of environment and landscape resulted in the loss of sustainability. Consequently, brand new seaside territorial problems emerged. The following methods were used: system analysis, comparative analysis, visual inspection of the recreational green spaces and environmental assessment studies of the structures, including the methods of spatial structure analysis of recreational landscapes. The study is based on the results 2001-2013 in Lithuania. According to the solutions of the general plan of the territory of Lithuania, the seaside territory is attributed to high to very high potential recreational areas of national importance. The general plan of the territory of the Republic of Lithuania provides the guidelines for the development of recreational seaside region. Thus, the medium and high quality infrastructure for accommondation and base of recreational services must be created. Long-time environmental monitoring leads to the conclusion that in recent years, instead of improving, the environmental quality of many Lithuanian seaside areas have lost the important qualitative components, resulting in the deteriorated quality of public spaces, and the increased urban and architectural chaos. In this study, the authors examine the impact of changes on the quality of the recreational territorial system on the recreational potential of areas. The study provides particular suggestions on how to improve the quality of the recreational environment using the design and installation tools. This paper presents suggestions for the implementation of measures for planning public spaces and recreational areas of coastal settlements, and improving the recreational potential of the areas.

The aim of our science work and project was to create a functional program for a public park appropriate for a small resort town like Supraśl. Such area should incorporate elements of healing and sensory gardens. Results of numerous analyses of the Public Park in Supraśl (former Saski Garden) were presented for the specific setting of Supraśl. The proposed functional program was developed on the basis of architecture students’ projects completed in the academic year of 2016/2017 at Bialystok University of Technology in cooperation with the Municipal Office and the Mayor of Supraśl. The analysis of the completed work shows that it is possible to contain a rich functional program, appropriate for both the citizens of Supraśl and the patients of the resort, in the area of the former Saski Garden. It could be done without any loss to its historical and natural value.
