Where do people meet, form relations of trust, and begin debating social and politicalissues? Where do social movements start? In this fascinating collection, scholars andactivists from a wealth of disciplinary backgrounds, including sociology, anthropology,history, and political science, take a fresh look at these questions and the factorsleading to political and social change in the Arab world from a spatial perspective.Based on original field work in Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, and Palestine, Spaces of Participation connects and reconnects social, cultural, and political participation withurban space. It explores timely themes such as formal and informal spaces of participation, alternative spaces of cultural production, space reclamation, and culturalactivism, and the reconfiguring of space through different types of contestation. Italso covers a range of spaces that include sports clubs, arts centers, and sites of protest and resistance, as well as virtual spaces such as social media platforms, in theprocess of examining the relationships and tensions between physical and virtualspace.

Use of Analogies, Metaphors, and Similes by Students and Reviewers at an Undergraduate Architectural Design Review
(Cambridge University Press, 2019) Doğan, Fehmi; Taneri, Batuhan; Erbil, Livanur
This study investigates the use of similarities in the form of analogy, metaphor, and simile by students and reviewers in an undergraduate architectural design review. In contrast to studies conducted in vitro settings, this study emphasizes the importance of studying analogies, metaphors, and similes in a natural setting. All similarity relationships were coded according to their type, the level of expertise, range, frequency, goal, value judgment, and depth. The results indicate that analogies, metaphors, and similes were used spontaneously and without any difficulty by both reviewers and students. Reviewers, however, were almost twice as likely to evoke similarities. Metaphor was the most frequently used similarity relationship among the three. It was found that there was a significant relationship between the level of expertise and type of similarity, with students more likely to use analogies and less likely to use similes. It was also found that goal is the most important factor, with a significant relation to all other variables, and that embodiment is often invoked in both students' and reviewers' metaphors. We conclude that design education should take full advantage of students' natural ability to benefit from similarity relationships.

Conceptual Diagrams in Creative Architectural Practice: the Case of Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum
(Cambridge University Press, 2012) Doğan, Fehmi; Nersessian, Nancy J.
The Jewish Museum in Berlin is the first major building of Daniel Libeskind [1,2]. The project for the museum has instigated a wealth of discussions in architectural circles and achieved a rare status of attracting the attention of scholars from other disciplines. Kurt W. Forster put the design for the Jewish Museum on a par with Piranesi's Carceri d'Invenzione, an unusual position for any building since very rarely does an architectural design ‘[…] bear this double burden of representing both actual buildings and mental structures, and which therefore have to submit to being measured by both standards: the durability of their ideas and the imaginative faculty of their designer.’
