Architecture of Coexistence: Building Pluralism This book investigates how architecture can
shape an open-minded and inclusive society highlighting three internationally renowned
projects: the White Mosque in Visoko Bosnia-Herzegovina (1980) the Islamic Cemetery Altach in
Altach Austria (2012) and the Superkilen public park in Copenhagen Denmark (2012). Scholarly
essays across various disciplines along with interviews with the architects and users of these
projects provide intriguing insights into architecture's ability to bridge cultural
differences. Soliciting a wide array of questions about migration transculturalism visibility
inclusion and exclusion the book sheds light on the long-term social processes generated
between architectural form and its users. Architecture of Coexistence offers a truly
interdisciplinary perspective on a very timely subject: Building pluralism means designing for
a respectful inclusion of different cultural needs practices and traditions. With
