Sažetak
The architect Frano Gotovac worked in the area of Split between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s. Although he was for the most part engaged in designing residential areas and blocks, a significant part of his oeuvre was dedicated to the design of sports, commercial, health, and other facilities. Frano Gotovac spent almost all of his career in Split working in a number of Split firms. In the late 1960s he took a job in Omiš, in the construction firm called ‘Izvađač’. At the time of Gotovac’s work in Omiš, this small Dalmatian town was under intensive construction. Omiš expanded out of its historical boundaries onto the east and west peripheries, including the Peninsula of Punta in the south. New residential areas were built for the increasing population flocking to the town in search of employment. Through his original architectural approach in designing buildings Gotovac made a significant contribution towards shaping the post-war character of the City of Omiš. He designed a number of residential blocks. The Dalma department store was also designed by Gotovac in the late 1960s. A building, bearing a pronounced touch of the author, was constructed in a prominent place of the Peninsula of Punta, on the west approach to Omiš. The building is located in the immediate vicinity of the historical city core and the River Cetina. These circumstances required the designer to exhibit particular sensibility in dealing with a space visible from greater distances due to the configuration of the surrounding terrain close to the River. On the south side of the department store the same author designed a residential block. In designing these buildings, Gotovac envisaged a new city square formed by his two buildings and a residential block, designed by the architect Josip Vojnović, and constructed in the early 1960s.
