Sochi
Beginning in 2009 I have been visiting Sochi each year to work on the Soviet House of Rest project, and as a result have also been following the great changes that are taking place there. Some of these are in preparation for the 2014 Olympics, others are part of a larger scheme to transform the place into the Russian Riviera that it was always expected to become. The beautiful sanatorium pictured below, which was once the city’s calling card, was closed in October 2011, and neighboring resorts have been torn down in order to build deluxe apartments and villas.
