Preliminary communication
Competition for Master Plan of Zadar from 1953 Fifty Years Later
Ines Merćep
Abstract
Redevelopment of the almost entirely demolished historic nucleus of Zadar was finally defined in 1953 by the Competition for a master plan of Zadar organized by JAZU (today HAZU – Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences). The most prominent experts in architecture and cultural life of the period took part in defining the competition program and evaluating competition entries. The most important competition documents contained a comprehensive and detailed evaluation of the area and of the town's historical and urban development as well as the guidelines for future development of the town and its historic nucleus in particular. This paper presents the competition entries with urban-planning solutions and redevelopment proposals. The competition itself as well as the Plan for the historic nucleus resulting from it had a significant impact on further development of Zadar.
