“Holiday Patterns” looks at a specific type of summer buildings: housing developments that rise up next to the seashore to accommodate hundreds of tourists for only few months a year. All these buildings have one feature in common: they are covered by a mainly decorative skin flaunting the geometrical patterns typical of summer fabrics. None of these “outfits” responds to any structural function – they are merely ornamental.

Completely dissociated from the urban fabric surrounding them, all these buildings stand one next to the other like colorful dresses hanging in a wardrobe, awaiting the summer.
