Croatia : Historic core of Split threatened by ill-conceived urban regeneration project

City authorities have granted a building project for the renovation of the Riva, a coastal promenade between the historic core of the city and the harbour. The historic core of Split including Diocletian’s Palace has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. The team of architects which won the competition for the renovation of Riva have proposed two major innovations, which conservationists deem unacceptable. Instead of proposing the reconstruction of the 19th century fountain, destroyed in 1947, they have designed a modern "multi active fountain" which will disfigure the existing historic setting. Second, they proposed a new pavement for the promenade using "techno-concrete" instead of the traditional stone pavement, characteristic for the Dalmatian region. The Society of “Friends of Cultural Heritage of Split”, has tried to convince the local authorities to safeguard the historical environment on the Riva of Split, particularly insisting on the reconstruction of the 19th century fountain whose original appearance is fully documented. Moreover, several original fragments of the fountain have been saved and they could be incorporated within the reconstructed monument. The proposal of the Society has gained the support of the most outstanding authorities of Croatia in the field of conservation, art and architectural history, as well as of members of Academy of Science.

Come vede sono state tentate tutte le strade ma con insuccesso.
