Forensic Architecture refers to the work of expert witnesses presenting spatial analysis in a legal forums. Their practice combines the principles of property surveying, structural engineering, the physics of blast forces and the chemistry of composite materials. "Forensic Architecture" also refers to an analytic process that involves the investigation of building envelopes (walls, windows, curtain walls, roofing systems, etc.), waterproofing systems, fire resistive wall or ceiling assemblies, building materials, structural assemblies, and numerous other aspects of buildings. It is practiced by licensed architects within a jurisdiction. == Research Project == The ERC funded research project "Forensic Architecture: The Space of Law in War" locates this practice within the context of human rights and war crime investigation. In this context Forensic Architecture refers to an analytical method for reconstructing scenes of violence as they are inscribed within spatial artefacts and environments. The project brings different modes of technical visualisation, modelling and analysis to bear upon violations of human rights and the laws of war as they are registered in and by space. The project team examines remnants of violence as inscribed in built environments and landscapes, but also as captured by different media – satellite imagery, GPS, radar and other remote sensing technologies; footage from news report, activists and CCTV; photography and video from hand-held devices or eyewitness reports. Through the synthesis of these multiple sources, each investigation seek to recreate a chain of events and elaborate upon their legal consequences; making legible the multiple forces at play within sites of violence. Once this data is compiled and cross-referenced it can be used in courts, tribunals, and human rights organisations — the multiple forums of international justice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Forensic Architecture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
