With the end of the soviet occupation, during the 50s and early 60s an interesting resistance through architecture movement started on the romanian Black Sea coast, where architects opposed the imposed socialist and stalinist architecture and designed a large number of mid-century modern style buildings, neadless to say that most of them are now long gone or in ruins.

Built in 1962, the Pearl Tower Hotel, Mamaia Resort - the only international style building in Romania, will be demolished this summer (2022). It was designed by architect Mina Laurian. At the top floor there was a panoramic restaurant, while on the ground level he built a large one story mid-century modern structure for shops, restaurants, bar and an open air pool.
