Abstract

This paper offers preliminary insights into the phenomenality of Orientalizing styles of architecturein Bosnia-Herzegovina in the period of Austro-Hungarian rule. It examines in some detail threebuildings in Banja Luka and Gradiška, with brief detours to Brčko, Dubica, and Šamac, focusing onthe problem of decision-making in the planning and design process. This discussion is aided by planmaterial discovered in the relevant archives as well as contemporary periodicals. The inquiry willconclude with ruminations on this phenomenon’s geography: Did Orientalizing architecture inBosnia’s northern region, bordering Croatia-Slavonia, carry different meanings than in Sarajevo andother inland metropolises?
