 " Diwan is a collaborative research platform initiated and curated by Philipp Misselwitz and Can Altay which brings together leading academics, practitioners and experts from the field of architecture and urban studies in Turkey and the Middles East. Diwan aims to provoke a critical discourse on the current trends that are radically transforming cities in the region, focus- ing on voluntary and involuntary forms of urban exclusion and urban practices that confront, subvert and transgress a reality of growing spa- tial and social polarization. Through conducting new field work, collecting reflections, thoughts, ideas, and utopias, Diwan also hopes to act as a trigger and nucleus for a multitude of regional projects and collaborations—and ultimately provide a unique opportunity to generate links, networks, and collaborations in a region thatis geographically united with shared histories and numerous cultural traditions, which is also dealing with very similar challenges yet remains divided and fragmented.Edited by Tansel Korkmaz, Eda Ünlü-Yücesoy with Yaşar Adanalı, Can Altay and Philipp Misselwitz.Text contributions by Yaşar Adanalı, İmre Balanlı, Ayfer Bartu Candan, Kerem Çiftçioğlu, Tuzin Baycan Levent, Cihan Baysal, Ihsan Bilgin, Yves Cabannes, Haluk Gerçek, Aliye Ahu Gülümser, Cassidy Johnson, Hüseyin Kaptan, Biray Kolluoğlu, Ali Kural, Tuna Kuyucu, Latife Tekin, Wakui Tetsuo, Erdoğan Yıldız.
