One way to integrate art into urban life is to convey the art into public spaces in which the city dweller is able to access easily in his daily life. In this respect, the art work will reach the city dweller through revealing its essence, as well as the city dweller will benefit from the pyhsical, social and cultural structure of the art activity. This article discusses how artifacts of urban fabric in historic cities can be interpreted with an artistic expression and transformed into art works in the public space, so that they can create spaces of encounter for the city dwellers and be realized as micro-scale urban interventions by the public art through results of the workshop named “Interventions to Urban Space: Encounter Spaces in Traditional/Unique Neighbourhood”. As public spaces are performance spaces of the public art, they have a potential to transform into places where the city dwellers encounter and engage in a dialog, and public interaction occurs at the same time. In this context, if micro-scale urban interventions have art context, public spaces within historical urban context can benefit from conserving the historical space’s identity, enhancing image of the city, finding sustainable solutions to daily life and existing issues of the city.
