THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE OF SEASIDE RESORTS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE UZNAM ISLAND

Abstract

The seaside resorts came into existence in Prussia Kingdom just in 1824 together with the seaside tourism that was initiated in France. Suitable location, close to Berlin made Uznam Island the main place of the resorts location. II War World finished their harmonic development. The political decisions distributed the area of island and incorporated the part into new west borders of Poland. The assessment of the character of new investments presented on the successive maps of development of the seaside district with the growth of beach is made in the context of the resorts' landscape (the landscapes forming at the area of Uznam Island historically connected with Prussia still refer to traditional architecture of XIX-centaury guesthouses, resident hotels and "climate" of family sunbathing while new development in Świnoujście becomes a specific "exhibition" – a review of architectural trends of luxury hotels and apartment buildings, separating from the historical context of the place and local tradition.
