Forensic Architecture
Forensic Architecture, a research agency at Goldsmiths, University of London, analyses plans, videos, satellite imagery, and audio to reconstruct human rights abuses as 3D models and interactive timelines that build a clear evidentiary narrative.
The work of the research agency Forensic Architecture, based at Goldsmiths, University of London, powerfully illustrates this expanded practice. Their process involves meticulously analyzing a vast array of existing representations—architectural plans, user-generated videos, satellite imagery, and audio files—to understand the spatial and temporal dynamics of specific human rights abuses. Subsequently, they create new, synthesized representations, such as intricate 3D models and interactive timelines, to construct a coherent and compelling narrative from fragmented evidence, thereby "bringing forth a world" of understanding about that specific event.
