Full Description
Reading Visual Investigations delves into a new discipline—visual investigations—in which architecture intersects with advocacy, journalism, and law in the pursuit of justice and accountability.
The book presents insights into the current discourse within this emergent field, illustrated by intriguing case studies from around the world, highlighting the role of architecture as a key area of expertise that defines this evolving practice. Eight experts from the fields of digital and spatial analysis, human rights, legal studies, investigative journalism, and forensic analysis offer critical, scientifically grounded discourse on the topic through essays and interviews. The book's contributors examine a range of methods and architectural tools employed in visual investigations and their impact on human rights and legal processes.
Additionally, the investigators and the editors provide an in-depth analysis of international research by introducing seven case studies and presenting their methods, content and conclusions in diverse formats, including maps, films, models and interactive platforms used to expose human rights violations.
Reading Visual Investigations is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the dynamic and evolving practice of visual investigations. It provides practical insights that integrate traditional reporting with digital forensics and the analysis of visual evidence. The book strives to bridge the gap between architectural expertise and the urgent need for effective advocacy and accountability mechanisms in contemporary society.
