The areas where people can be together and make cultural/social exchanges are defined as public spaces. The concept of public space has gained meaning with the emergence of the urban element. Within the process, public spaces, that shaped from the individual to the society and have gained new meanings as a result of the social, cultural and economic differences, are perhaps the most important component of the spaces that are effective in the formation of urban identity. Withing the scope of this study; artist readings will be made specific to; Alexander Calder's production of large scale sculpture covering the space which is one of the contemporary art practices in the public spaces that are defined as living spaces specially in the city; The enormous architectural design of the Vito Acconci/Acconci Workshop on Mur Island; The famous building design of Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunic; Large scale ceramic practices of Carlo Zauli; The street paintings turning into almost living organisms of Banksy; Glass sculptures/laying ups of Luebtow; Practices made with mixed materials by Sol Lewitt and Light feasts of Brian Eno.
