DESCRIPTION:In an increasingly urbanized, compact world where political instability and 
 violence break out, the impact is concentrated and direct: buildings are 
 leveled, cityscapes are transformed, people, property, and infrastructure 
 displaced and destroyed. Forensic Architecture is a collaborative project 
 that analyzes maps, images, and models sites of violence to provide 
 evidence and facts in the context of international law and human rights. In 
 his lecture on Forensic Architecture, Eyal Weizman will explore the history 
 and trajectory of architectural analysis: its applications to international 
 law, criminal damages assessment, and expanding uses in environmental, 
 political, and social movements. He will also discuss the evolving role of 
 media and technology in creating and presenting spatial and architectural 
 modeling.\n\nEyal Weizman is an architect, Professor of Visual Cultures, 
 and director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, 
 University of London. Since 2011 he has also directed the European Research 
 Council funded project, Forensic Architecture, an institute that focuses on 
 the place of architecture in international humanitarian law. He is also a 
 founding member of the architectural collective DAAR in Beit 
 Sahour/Palestine. His most recent books include "Mengele's Skull" (with 
 Thomas Keenan at Sternberg Press 2012), "Forensic Architecture" 
 (dOCUMENTA13 notebook, 2012), and "The Least of all Possible Evils" 
 (Nottetempo 2009, Verso 2011). He has worked with a variety of NGOs 
 worldwide and was member of the B'Tselem board of directors. He also serves 
 on the advisory boards of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in 
 London, and the Human Rights Project at Bard in NY.\n
