title

@MirkoS18 why use this generic title, and say that Banovina is "colloquial", when the term appears in sources describing it?

The linked article https://hrcak.srce.hr/file/16525 introduces the term with:

Tom je prilikom arhitekt Plečnik izradio prijedlog regulacije i uređenja cijele Stare obale, s novopredviđenom izgradnjom hotela i zgrade Banovine (sl. 7).

and later says:

Za regulaciju i planiranje obalnog pojasa interesantna je Studija za situiranje Nacionalnog spomenika i nove Banovinske palače u Splitu iz 1935. godine, koju je izradio ing. Petar Senjanović uz arhitektonsku suradnju arhitekta Josipa Pičmana, i to prema ideji rješenja obale pred Dioklecijanovom palaèom dr. Josipa Smodlake (sl. 8, 9). Studija je nastala kao reakcija na aktualizirano pitanje izgradnje Banske palače 1934. godine, [...]

It was easy to find other references to it like that, for example in https://www.matica.hr/vijenac/213/kratka-povijest-splitske-rive-15018/ which says:

Gradnja Banskih ureda — Banovine

Na tom mjestu odabrana je lokacija za izgradnju Banskih ureda.

Godine 1930. raspisan je javni natječaj za Projekt novih Banskih ureda. Autoriteti u brojnom žiriju bili su kipar Ivan Meštrović i arhitekt Edo Schon. Odazvala su se čak 33 autora. Postavljen je i uvjet da Banska palača bude projektirana »...u slobodnom monumentalnom stilu, [...]

Pitanje izgradnje palače Banovine ponovno je aktualizirano 1934. kada je arhitekt Ante Grgić zamoljen da izradi novu idejnu skicu. Tim se projektom predviđalo formiranje novog trga istočno od Dioklecijanove palače, s čije sjeverne strane bi se nalazila palača Banovine.

So this appears to be the common name of the building, while its descriptive name could well be secondary. --Joy (talk) 07:23, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Joy You are right with this one. It's only that I followed provided red link when creating the article and I was insufficiently familiar with the topic once I started. It would make a lot of sense to move it to Banovina Palace, Split or some variation of this.--MirkoS18 (talk) 07:44, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
