The Processes Involved In Forensic Architecture

By Eliza Mendoza


Forensic Architecture is a study of old modeled buildings. The term old modeled means the designs that were used to come up with buildings in the past. The art of building has revolutionized over the decades. The materials used at the moment differ from those that were used in the old times. For example, in the past most of the buildings were not as high as now. They did not have basements as is the case now.

The predictions made are based on scientific reasons and not mare fantasies or rumours.The whole exercise is conducted by a team of experts. The experts must have a good base in the science subject. They should be able to analyze chemical samples and if not they present their samples to medical specialists.

The buildings studied are used to interpret many aspects of developmental changes. The language embedded in the building s could be said to be the dominant language at the time of construction of the building. The carvings made could also be used to deliver important messages.

The initial step is where the researchers visit the existing building or the remains of the structure. A good example would be the pyramids found in Egypt. Once the buildings that are to be studied are identified, a short visit is made to the location of the structure. The reconnaissance helps the researchers to prepare on how to approach the whole exercise of studying it.

They assemble the listed items. Some of these items could be hired such as vehicles or machinery.Vehicles such as tractors may be needed to lift up remains of buildings that have fallen down. Chisels may be used to flake small pieces of stone for study. The stone is then analyzed for the ratios of concrete, sand and ballast.

Thereafter, they will make an entry into the building. Inside, they will pick unique items they find inside. Photos may be taken to act as future proofs of what they saw. They will work to cover the whole building maximally.In the process, they come up with deductions . They work out reasons for the models of items they find inside.

The inner designs are then taken into account. The inner designs could include the features such as the partitioning of the halls, the number of rooms and some of the instruments found inside. Largely spaced rooms could be predicted to be meeting areas or gathering areas. Instruments found inside may be used to determine the function played by the building and the specific room where it is found.

Forensic Architecture is core practice in the modern time. With the rise in insurance and property disputes, many people have started to specialize in this subject. It revolves around the witnesses and the evidence. The evidence is analyzed by scientific experiments to confirm its validity.
