- This 376-page book summarizes the work of Forensic Architecture, a novel research method instigated by the author. The book constitutes the culmination of two decades of in-depth architectural forensic investigations—or ‘architecture in reverse.’ It shows how the analytical skills of architects can be deployed in circumstances that extend beyond the comfort zone of the drawing board. It includes both theoretical and methodological reflections as well as dozens of investigations (in Pakistan, the West Bank, Syria, Gaza and Guatemala), original maps, diagrams, and in-depth analyses of banks of images provided by social media in conflict zones.
