Sažetak
Based on selected examples of architecture tenders and their realizations, this paper will analyse the influence of the state and state authorities in creating architectural and urban identity in interwar Split. After the First World War, because of its privileged position as the main state port, Split developed at a faster pace than other cities in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes / Yugoslavia. The city flourished in terms of infrastructure, construction, and town planning based on the Regulation plan from 1923–1924 and hosted as many as 29 architecture tenders (27 realized, 5 announced at the international level), which is a very large number, compared to the number of 39 tenders in Zagreb and a total of about 120 interwar architecture tenders in Croatia. Selected examples are tenders for buildings affirming the maritime orientation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia ; the Maritime Museum (1928), the Oceanographic and Biological Institute (1930), the Adriatic Lighthouse (1935) ; the administrative building of the Littoral Banovina (1936–1937) and the Serbian Orthodox Church which remains unfinished up to the present day. Research is primarily based on documents in the archive of Conservation Department in Split and periodicals published in interwar Split. The influence of the state authorities will be analysed through various aspects of architecture tenders: selection of the location and purpose of the buildings to be erected, preservation of cultural heritage, tender participants (competitors, members of the jury and city commissions), extensive and sharp polemics on tenders and realizations published in the daily newspapers. A few examples of inadequate realizations testify to the abuse of tenders even today (e.g., the Littoral Banovina building, the Orthodox Church). Frequent members of the tender juries were the mayor and later ban/governor Ivo Tartaglia, the architect Kamilo Tončić, the painters Emanuel Vidović and Angjeo Uvodić, the sculptor Ivan Meštrović – prominent protagonists of the Medulić Association (1908–1919), which at that time was actively involved in decision making and implementation of the state policy. Archive photographs and photographs published in periodicals record the interwar construction of Split and the opening ceremonies of the erected buildings. Therefore, the paper is also a contribution to the history of the interwar photography in Split.
