Uncovering Truth and Accountability
Forensic Architecture employs advanced digital technologies, architectural analysis, and spatial investigation techniques to reconstruct and analyze events in urban environments. By meticulously examining evidence such as photographs, videos, satellite imagery, and architectural plans, Forensic Architecture can uncover the truth behind incidents, including human rights abuses, police violence, urban conflicts, and environmental disasters. This work contributes to accountability by providing evidence that can be used in legal proceedings and truth commissions.
Architectural Expertise
With our background in architecture and design, Forensic Architecture brings a unique perspective to their investigations. They possess an understanding of how the built environment shapes human experiences, social interactions, and power dynamics. This expertise allows them to interpret the architectural aspects of a city and investigate how they contribute to or are affected by specific events.
Visualization and Communication
One of Forensic Architecture's notable capabilities is their skill in visualizing complex data and findings. They create compelling visual representations, including maps, 3D models, timelines, and animations, to effectively communicate their analysis and findings to diverse audiences. This capability helps make their work accessible, engaging, and impactful, enabling them to convey their investigations to policymakers, the public, and the media.
Forensic Architecture operates within a legal and human rights framework. They are skilled at translating their findings into the language and requirements of legal proceedings, truth commissions, and human rights investigations. This capability allows them to contribute to legal advocacy and accountability efforts by providing robust evidence and expert analysis.
