The Lexicon of Split’s Modern Architecture; Darovan Tušek
Zlatko Karač
Abstract
This book is a valuable guide to Split’s modern architecture in the last hundred years (1918-2018) supplied with numerous systematized and verified data. The first chapter provides an elaborate account and a chronological survey of the city’s urban development and construction activities during that period with encyclopedic information on all relevant authors, dating of the seminal works of architecture and their critical evaluation. The second chapter contains biographies of a hundred most significant Split architects as well as a selection of key words relevant for the profession (competitions, urban plans, architectural journals, architectural practices, etc.). The third and the largest chapter contains a catalogue with 435 analyzed buildings arranged in chronological order and numeration associated with the city map attached. Data in all catalogue units are identical (name of the project, dating, address, author, evaluation, literature) and each building is visualized with one photograph.
