The O
Haludovo B-LOC
Hotel I-LOC
was O
built O
in O
1972 O
(1969 O
1972) O
by O
architect O
Boris B-PER
Magaš I-PER
near O
Malinska O
on O
Krk O
island. O
It O
represents O
one O
of O
the O
spatial O
experiments O
within O
tourism O
architecture O
that O
occurred O
along O
the O
Adriatic O
region O
of O
Yugoslavia O
during O
the O
expansion O
of O
tourism O
based O
development. O
The O
architect O
put O
nature O
at O
the O
center O
of O
his O
design O
which O
emphasized O
conservation O
and O
integrated O
the O
surrounding O
landscape O
as O
a O
continuation O
of O
the O
interior O
design. O
Different O
buildings O
and O
features O
were O
distributed O
on O
the O
site. O
The O
central O
monumental O
building O
included O
a O
large O
lobby O
that O
was O
flexible O
enough O
to O
accommodate O
multiple O
uses O
such O
as O
different O
kinds O
of O
social O
events. O
The O
hotel O
also O
included O
separate O
accommodation O
pavilions O
nestled O
into O
the O
surrounding O
landscape. O
The O
design O
for O
the O
swimming O
pool O
showcased O
experimentation O
with O
concrete O
beams O
which O
beyond O
their O
structural O
function O
were O
used O
to O
create O
a O
dynamic O
composition. O
One O
particularly O
memorable O
period O
of O
the O
hotel's O
history O
began O
when O
the O
hotel O
hosted O
the O
Penthouse O
Adriatic B-PER
Club I-PER
and I-PER
Casino I-PER
as I-PER
part O
of O
investment O
by O
Penthouse O
magazine O
founder O
Bob O
Guccione. O
These B-PER
additions O
made O
the O
hotel O
a O
place O
of O
“guilty O
pleasure” O
for O
a O
while. O
The O
hotel O
was O
privatized O
in O
the O
1990s O
after O
which O
it O
was O
sold O
but O
due O
to O
controversy O
around O
the O
planned O
development O
this O
imposing O
piece O
of O
architecture O
was O
left O
to O
degradation O
and O
decay. O
