Abstract:
The paper is based on the research how variable local sociopolitical constellations make almost daily changes of the appearance of the urban context, thus integrating its concrete intentions into emerging architecture which has long-term influence on creation of a (specific) cultural identity. Premise of this paper is that the process of construction of cultural identity is multidimensional and complex.
In this context, analytical model is constructed for the purpose of answering burning questions - in which way architecture and urban forms influence shaping of cultural identities of societies in transition and how this cultural identity becomes locally and globally sustainable. The focus of the paper is society of Bosnia and Herzegovina and three existing tendencies, of unequal intensity and influence, in redefining this cultural identity. Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina is an living example of those tendencies, of the positive, but the least present, one.
Keywords: architecture, urban context, identity of a place, cultural identity, local, global
