Forensic Architecture

What is ‘forensic architecture’?

‘Forensic architecture’ is the name of an interdisciplinary academic field developed and developing from within Goldsmiths’ Centre for Research Architecture (CRA) since 2010. The term refers to the production and presentation of spatial evidence within legal, political, and cultural contexts, and takes architecture to include not only buildings, but shaped environments at the scale of cities and territories. In addition to the CRA’s MA in Forensic Architecture, we have set up and supported academic courses to further develop the field of forensic architecture at universities worldwide.
