Architecture of ecumenical spaces in public buildings in the 21st century:Links among the architecture of multi-faith spaces,their names,and the functions they serve in Polish airports

This study explores the architecture and arrangement of prayer spaces in public build-ings.It examines whether Polish airports have prayers spaces and whether a correlation exists be-tween the name(e.g.,“multi-faith space,”,“place of prayer,”and,“place of focus”)and design.The study is supported by analyses of ecumenical spaces,which have recently been brought into service and where a visible symbiosis exists between their names and functions.This study includes in situ investigations and is conducted based on a wide range of literature,statistical data,comparative methods,and logical reasoning.This study may provide an important indication for countries that are only beginning to face a design problem concerning architecture of multi-faith spaces.
