Josip Maria Kodl (8 September 1887 – 26 September 1971) was a Croatian architect. Born in Zdice in the present-day Czech Republic, Kodl graduated from the Higher Technical School in Prague, after which he moved to Split where he would spend the remainder of his life. Kodl's work included a number of public projects, such as the Municipal House (1924), Meteorological Observatory on the Marjan (1926) and the "Manuš-Dobri" Elementary School (1930), as well as numerous private homes across Split.[1]
