Continuity of Thought in the Discontinuity of History: Architect Zlatibor Lukšić and some Aspects of Modernism in Split (1930- 1965)

Based upon an insight into the parts of the oeuvre of Split architect Zlatibor Lukšić, this paper aimes at presenting some key aspects of modernism in Split (Croatia). The work of Lukšić, who studied architecture in Belgrade, spent time in Paris and worked in Split, is analysed in order to examine two key questions. The first question tackles the ways in which a specific architectural thought stemming from another and different geographical context was implemented into, and developed within, the local context of a city with a rich architectural and urban history, but with all the characteristics of a 'periphery'. The second question concerns the strategies and specific design tools that enabled the development and survival of the inherited thought in spite of the change of political and value systems that directly affected it. By examining various architectural strategies in their interaction with different political and social circumstances, this paper focuses on the potential that autonomous, deeply specific design tools and strategies have to enable architecture to construct social and cultural meaning, as well as local identity.
