The current landscape and development potential of Croatia is unsettled by an astounding 96 abandoned hotel and resort properties in its real estate portfolio, two (2) of which are located in Jelsa. The existing infrastructure of these properties presents a major opportunity for strategic revitalization to meet increasing tourism needs. Many visitors view hotels, especially those built during the socialist era, as undesirable, lacking amenities, luxuries – even depressing. A lack of outside investment into the hotel industry and a tainted identity demands unique measures to grant the updated, luxurious tourism experiences that Croatia aspires towards. However, the success of the development is determinate on place branding measures that will redefine the relationship between place, community, visitors, and experience. Tourism as an industry directly affects the physical, cultural, economic, and socio-political environments that it encapsulates. Approaching tourism as a holistic enterprise across industries reflects the EU model for viable and resilient destinations.

RESILIENT ACTORS dr. danko koncar
Personal Worth $1 billion+
Dr. Koncar primarily resides in LONDON, UK but holds personal ties to ZAGREB, CROATIA
business profile Profiling Croatian company, Kermas Limited Investment Group, identifies diversified private investment and development pursuits targeting the country’s abandoned real estate. Since founding the company in 1989, Dr. Danko Koncar has helped build Kermas from the ground up, and guided its evolution from a trading company into a large diversified international corporation, with major investments in real estate, renewable energy, marina development, agriculture and shipbuilding. The purchase of Jelsa’s former Belgrade Children’s Resort from the Republic of Serbia secured an opportunity to develop a partnership with the Island of Hvar while initiating growth. As it stands, the former resort is located along one of Hvar Island’s most pristine bays, making it a top destination for a luxurious getaway just minutes away from all Jelsa has to offer. Additionally, the concrete structural frame repeated throughout the complex provides a prototypical base layer, of which other socialist era hotels throughout the country may draw from, for developing rehabilitation techniques of abandoned real estate into high-class resorts for the new tourist of the Adriatic.

FRP arrives in various sized rolls per application and may be cut to size on-site.
Once s urfaces a re p repped b y repairing damage t o the concrete or masonry, a base coat of epoxy resin is spread onto the surface and FRP sheets are applied.
Applying multiple sheets of FRP requires a coat of epoxy resin between each layer. The wrapping is completed by spraying on a protective coating.
FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER wrapping systems generate a comprehensive and versatile method for structural upgrade through the repair, restoration, and strengthening of damaged or altered building members. Comprised of fibers (i.e. glass, carbon, kevlar) combined with polymers, the wrapping system enhances the performance of applied members through a variety of diverse applications, including but not limited to: seismic retrofit, pipe rehabilitation, structural preservation, blast mitigation, corrosion related repair, increased structural loading capacities, and environmental protection needs. FRPs are primarily used as an externally bonded or near – surface mount addition to existing structural elements such as columns, beams, slabs, walls, pipes, tanks, chimneys, and structural connections. FRPs may be bonded to concrete, masonry, steel and wood structures using a specially formulated structural epoxy.

GUEST EXPERIENCE fabric draped interiors Moving forward in the revitalization process, the project looked toward developing a strategy that would generate public awareness around site issues and future potential, establish a new reputation amongst the community and visitors, and build upon a recognizable brand. Focusing efforts on a long-term seasonal hotel design provides the project with a quick construction turn around to meet tourism demand during peak season while building upon a dialogue serving existing visitors' cultural preferences.
Fabric panels suspended with adjustable bolts attached to the underside of renovated slab
Croatia represents a severe departure from the Mediterranean tourism typology, with a mere 12.5% of guests choosing to stay in hotels. Croatia’s alternate accommodation anomaly is driven by the high demand for campsite typologies, of which Jelsa has four – Camp Nudist Vrboska, Camp Mina, Camp Holiday, and Camp Grebisce. Drawing from this, hotel renovations can capitalize on the bohemian experience, branding a boutique identity through the use of soft infrastructural installations. Deploying the use of fabric as an interior aesthetic utilizes a material that is readily available across markets, adaptable, lightweight, flexible and easy to install.

spring 2013 COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN STUDIO professor jason lee with phil giordano, m.arch
ACSA’s 2013 Timber in the City design competition challenged participants to re imagine dissipating urban manufacturing districts with buildings constructed from renewable resources, offering expedient affordable construction, innovation with new and old wooden materials, and improved healthy living/working environments. In light of 2012 Superstorm Sandy, participants were encouraged to consider the events as an investigative opportunity in timber construction to address necessary resiliency performance in addition to the design challenge. The performative nature of the final design, derived from a multi-disciplinary understanding of the red mangrove, addresses both sparse and overbearing resources of NY Brooklyn’s waterfront and urbanistic demands. The project exemplifies the capture and movement of site resources {i.e. on-site stormwater management, potable water, heat exchange, solar daylighting} as well as an integrated structural system that mitigates the potential of rising sea levels and coastal flooding.

The row house prototype provides residents with the ability to customize their living space as needed. All units feature an open floor plan that brings natural daylight into the space. Ground level retail can be outfitted into handicap accessible units or begin to expand across the plan. The unique split-level stair allows the units to have a large studio space in the front of the house, which is independent of the residential program beyond. This space may function as additional living space, work space, or can even be rented separately from the unit. Variation in ceiling heights gives each facade of the rowhouse a distinct character that suits the program it contains. FEATURES •ground level retail •private garage •street front parking

fall 2011 ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS professor seth holmes with blake coren, m.arch
The mountainous region of British Columbia presents a harsh climate in which only a small percentage of the year falls within the comfort zone. The annual climate for the region is primarily under heated, which challenges designers to meet a high demand for heating. In order to maximize the heating potential for direct solar radiation, the chalet was oriented 14° to the east — the optimum angle for southern exposure. A unique stone trombe wall design helps to heat the space throughout the night and provide privacy for the residents while creating visual interest. Extensive glazing on the southern facade adequately lights the interior, eliminating unwanted heat loss on the east and west elevations exposed to harsh winter winds. Mechanical shades installed on the southern facade insulate the windows to minimize heat loss that occurs overnight. Embedding the home within the hillside and insulating the peripheral ground ensures that the interior temperature is regulated and maintained with little need for additional mechanical systems.

fall 2011 1960's urbanism
Trailing the enormous impact of large-scale urban transformations of the 1960s, a condemned shopping mall located in downtown Worcester inspired the development of a new public institution. Located adjacent to a commuter rail station and in close proximity to Boston, the allowance for a hotel, convention space, restaurant, and retail were implemented into the plan in order to improve the social and economic capital of downtown. Avoiding the previous super block typology, the massing of the project is grounded anchored by a large bar on the main road, from which other programmatic volumes slide past one another. The design of the building volume and landscape are conscious of the pedestrian experience, providing unique environments across the site, separating pedestrian and bicycle traffic from vehicles, and engaging the landscape with performative qualities, such as rainwater capture, reuse and infiltration.

Boston’s waterfront along the Inner Harbor acts as an integral link between central Boston and the Seaport District. Its transformation into an extensive park system and recreational zone reinvented the character of the area as a gesture for sustainable living and tourism. The relation to the waterfront was emphasized by the addition of the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway, Ocean Walk and Harbor Walk. Continual development of the waterfront aims to maintain a visual and accessible connection to the harbor as a place of importance.
