School Architecture in Austro-Hungarian Croatia: Fragmented Territory and Politics of Architectural Design

As in other parts of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Croatian lands were marked by the intensive construction of public buildings that sought to meet the needs of numerous newly established public institutions. The focus of this paper will be the analysis of one segment of public architecture – school buildings – in the different provinces and regions that existed in the territory of present-day Croatia between the revolution of 1848-1849 and dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918 (Military Frontier, Istria, Dalmatia, Rijeka, Međimurje and Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia, also called Croatia-Slavonia). The late- nineteenth century school and in general public architecture in Croatian lands is extremely diverse, thanks to the fact that buildings for public institutions were designed and built equally by Austrian, Hungarian, and Croatian architects. This resulted from position of Croatian lands within the Monarchy after the 1867 Compromise – one part of its territory was under Austria (Istria, Dalmatia, and until 1881 Military Frontier) and the other under Hungary (Croatia- Slavonia, Rijeka, Međimurje, Baranja) which clearly reflects the importance of the political framework in the choice of architects of public buildings.
