Abstract

The walls assume the task of limiting the space; whereas the wall paintings reflected the history, provided the communication between art and the user, has displayed its corporate identity, shed light on social events, and has saved the place from monotony by affecting the user. In the architectural designs, the positive contributions of wall paintings to user-intensive spaces with the power of affecting and attracting attention are ignored. In this study, it is aimed to determine the wall paintings in the architectural surfaces, buildings and spaces, and to analyze them through concept-space integrity. The wall paintings located in the interiors and the exteriors of the various districts of Istanbul have been identified. On-site observations were done and the data were evaluated on the tables. The wall paintings were preferred in order to contribute to the aesthetics in the interior spaces, on the exterior surfaces, they were used by festival organizers and Graffiti artists, and no political messages were encountered.
