The book explores the architecture of contemporary art museums within various social contexts, highlighting their role in fostering cultural diversity and urban development. It concludes by advocating for socially responsible architecture in contemporary art museums, presenting a vision for the future of museum architecture, and emphasizing the need to construct the Ars Aevi Museum of Contemporary Art in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
