Abstract :Integrating contemporary art into restored historical and industrial buildings has become a significant interdisciplinary practice that bridges heritage conservation, spatial design, and artistic production. This study investigates the conversion of Şerefiye Cistern, Çubuklu Silos, Museum Gashouse, Artİstanbul Feshane, Casa Botter, Cendere Art Museum, Metrohan, and Yedikule Gashouse, restored under the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) Heritage projects, into spaces that serve artistic functions. Post-restoration evaluations focus on spatial organization and interior components such as form, material, light, and color. The research is theoretically grounded in Henri Lefebvre’s Production of Space and Christian Norberg-Schulz’s Genius Loci. Within this framework, the study explores how space is shaped through perceived, conceived, and lived dimensions, and it offers a comprehensive analysis of spatial meaning and identity. The findings reveal that digital art interventions enhance space’s aesthetic and functional qualities, while interior architectural decisions play a direct role in shaping artistic perception. Ultimately, integrating digital art into restoration processes, when approached holistically, supports both the cultural continuity and artistic transformation of historic spaces.
