Leisure Architecture of the 1960s and 1970s as an Example of Post-war Modernism

The article presents an analysis of recreational centers from the 1960s and 1970s as examples of post-war modernism. Today, these facilities are regarded as a legacy of past eras, embedded in the panoramas of many health spa towns. They are characterized by typical design solutions, both in terms of form-shaping and their relationship with the surrounding environment. Based on selected examples, an analysis was conducted on recreational buildings from the 1960s and 1970s, identifying characteristic elements of their architecture. Subsequently, the transformation processes of these structures were examined, defining the features and solutions that shape their regional character. The study included an analysis of the form of the buildings and their scale, as well as their relationship with the immediate surroundings. Particular attention was paid to the design of building façades and the structural solutions employed.
