Sažetak
The article analyzes the problem of the architectural legacy
of Ivan Meštrović with the intention of seeing the importance
of this under-examined area of his work. An analytical examination,
scientific analysis and subsequent popularization of
the architectural oeuvre of Ivan Meštrović and, in general, its
contribution to the national and European architecture of the
first half of the 20th century is important for a better scientific
and museological evaluation of the architectural heritage.
The architecture of Ivan Meštrović tends to be undervalued in
comparison with his sculptural production.
The research into and the systematic treatment and protection
of the architectural monuments of this great artist can
provide us with an insight into a new world of space, volume
and shapes, and of design, conceptual and construction solutions.
In the sea of dissimilarity, the models and various stylistic
narrations reveal to us Meštrović the architect.
The paper is structured in such a way that the first part refers
to the artist’s education and the acquisition of basic architectural
knowledge during his study in Vienna, helping him to
form an architectural style of his own through the prism of the
influences of various cultures and civilisations. In the second
part the focus is directed at separate analysis and interpretation
of designed and constructed buildings, as well as those
whose ideas were not realized. Monuments are categorized
into four groups according to theme and use: memorial buildings,
religious buildings, creative and living spaces, public
buildings.
An analysis of Meštrović’s architecture reveals a pluralism
of styles, within which several dominant sources stand out.
Primarily these are classicism, then the medieval religious
architecture of Dalmatia, Egyptian monumentalism and the
influences of his many collaborators.
