The Tate Modern multi-faith room: where sacred space and art space converge and merge

The Multi-faith Spaces project has visited over 600 multi-faith spaces in the past six years. Designed to accommodate religious diversity through the provision of multi-faith spaces, the project considers not just the architecture of these spaces but also their political aspect and their ability to encourage real social and religious encounters. Andrew Crompton finds that the multi-faith room in the new Tate Modern building is a typical example of a multi-faith space in a unique environment.
