Description
Summary:In this article, we explore how the cultural meanings of multi-faith spaces and interreligious relations are constructed through processes of mediatization involving social media, print journalism, as well as other actors and infrastructures of the public sphere. Drawing on the case of the House of One in Berlin, we show that while multi-faith spaces are constructed and celebrated as spaces of learning and conviviality and as solutions of interreligious conflict in transnational public spheres, locally they are often perceived quite differently. Practices of mediatization situate concrete material and architectural objects such as the House of One in a network of references, produced by different speakers. Through practices of mediatization, such architectural projects are interpreted, analyzed and evaluated. Thereby, the relationship between the object and its intended meaning (multi-religious building as an expression of interreligious peace) is scrutinized, partially unmade and reframed, producing an excess of meaning. Impor-tantly, these acts of interpretation, analysis, and evaluation place architectural objects in wider temporal and spatial horizons in that they are understood in relation-specific histories and spatial configurations.
