LIVE ART: A WAY TO DO RESEARCH IN ARCHITECTURE, URBANISM AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that Live Art can be applied as a Model or Method
of Analysis to do science, from the interpretation of the testimony of the building, the street,
the square or the neighborhood and its historical relationship with the function systemic of
the components of the territory. It is considered as applied research. Live Art can be built as
a learning strategy in cognitive processes; where specific procedures, criteria and skills must
be used to know, understand and attend to scientific problems related to the field of
architecture, urbanism and the environment. The method that guides Live Art is based on
functional structural systemic analysis; intended to model the object as a system, for which
the components, structure, principle of hierarchy and functional relationships must be

determined. Thus, Living Art is considered as a method of in situ study of the interaction
between the site and its surroundings, with its own reading, where the ecological and
environmental factors that gave rise to these experiences converge in a decisive way.
