Synopsis

"Visual Investigations. Between activism, media and law" is dedicated to the still young field of activity of image-based investigation procedures and illuminates the role architecture can play in the multi-layered structure between activism, media and law to promote justice and responsibilities within society. The book presents an insight into the current discourse of this emerging discipline, illustrated by international case studies. In doing so, architecture is highlighted as a key competence that makes an important contribution to this young discipline. Eight experts from the fields of digital investigations, spatial analysis, human rights, law, investigative journalism and forensic analysis offer a critical, scientifically based overview of the topic in essays and interviews. The authors of the book examine a range of methods and architectural tools used in visual investigations and discuss how they can support the enforcement of human rights in legal processes. In addition, active researchers and the editors of the book provide a comprehensive analysis of international research. They present seven case studies on human rights violations. Not only are the methods for detecting human rights violations as well as the content and conclusions explained, but also how the investigation results - including maps, films, models, and interactive platforms - are presented to a wider audience to ensure a greater public perception of the cases. "Visual Investigations. Between Activism, Media and Law" is a valuable source of information for anyone who wants to better understand this dynamic and rapidly evolving field. Scientific essays, interviews and the analysis of case examples and research provide practical insights into the way investigative researchers work. These combine traditional reporting, digital forensics and the analysis of visual evidence. This book highlights how architectural expertise can help respond to the urgent need to create effective mechanisms for advocacy and accountability in our society. "Visual Investigations. Between activism, media and law" describes how architects not only design, but also actively contribute to greater transparency and social justice.
