Colour as Specular Axis in the Methodology of Interdisciplinary Artistic Research - Exempli Gratia, Architecture

The aim of this paper is to establish an interdisciplinary artistic research methodology. This should make it possible to reach an agreement between researchers from different disciplines in an agile and rapid way. The artist speculates on the results he can achieve through his idea. But specialists in other fields have doubts about the effectiveness of the final result. The research establishes a specular axis to facilitate interdisciplinary agreement and determines colour as the basic plastic element that can fulfil this function. The methodological process highlights the need to increase the rigour in the way of seeing things. The author shows that colourimetry is valid for achieving numerical objectivity in the perception of colour. The article analyzes colour as a specular axis in the methodology of interdisciplinary artistic research projects of artistic intervention in architecture and public space. The success of these projects demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed methodology.
