(DIS)TRUST THE STORYTELLER: THE CASE OF KRVAVICA CHILDREN HEALTH RESORT
Designed byĀ Rikard MarasoviÄ, the Childrenās Health Resort in Krvavica near Makarska is a legendary building from the 1960s located on the Adriatic coast. Protected as immobile cultural property, this masterpiece of late Modernist architecture has been gradually decaying since the early 2000s.
This publication recounts the history of a place and of the real and parallel lives of a building originally intended for the treatment of children with respiratory diseases. The book features interdisciplinary research and texts on the buildingās past and on its architect, presented from various angles. It also reflects our attempts to include the participants of the citizensā initiatives for the protection and revitalisation of the building, as well as to give voice to the tenants of the adjacent apartment block, whose fate is tethered to that of the former resort. The publicationās title is a reference to the ambivalent retelling and (re)articulation of recent social and personal narratives. This is a story of the loss of social and transformation of personal memory caused by radical social changes, and the consequences of these processes.
500 pages, 17 x 23.7cm, hardcover, Set Margins (Eindhoven).
