Abstract
This paper reveals so far unknown facts about Marin Marasović’s building activities, education and work on many significant buildings in Split and Dalmatia. It also presents Marasović’s professional cooperation with sculptor Ivan Meštrović and architect Fabijan Kaliterna, in the period 1920-1960. In light of the cooperation with one of the most famous architects in Split at the time, Fabijan Kaliterna, the author emphasizes an extremely challenging
nature of the work on the construction of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries building. The institute was built on the cape of the Marjan hill in Split. Marasović’s cooperation with the famous sculptor Ivan Meštrović resulted in the construction of a considerable number of buildings in Split (e.g. a villa in Meje, the Meštrović family mausoleum in Otavice), Belgrade, Zagreb and Lovćen. What started as a mere business cooperation, later turned to a lifelong friendship, not only with the sculptor, but with the entire Meštrović family, as well.
So far unpublished Marin Marasović’s manuscripts, in which he recalls his cooperation with Ivan Meštrović, are also presented in the paper.
