The Designs Of 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.

All this has led to emergence of a subject that sits down to study the old buildings, the various changes between them and the modern buildings changes, and the technology used to develop them. All these aspects are important to determine the strides that have been made by human beings over the years. The process of study and analysis is done by a team of qualified staff. Individuals who have interest to pursue this subject undergo some form of training in the universities.

The detail collected may turn out to be important in explaining certain past cases or mysteries. The act of acquiring this information is done in a step wise manner. The location of the building is first found. This could be done by use of maps. The experts move to the site to determine what they will need over to conduct the whole study.

The tools of study are packed, hired or purchased. The experts may need to carry their luggage to their site because a single study could take a couple of months. More time may be even be needed to come up with precise information. However they work with deadlines because most of the times they are sponsored by governments or individuals who require the vital data.

A list of requirements is afterwards made. The requirements could be the tools needed, the writing materials, machines and the human labour.Specialised machines may be required for example drilling equipment. Human labor may be needed to may lift doors of buildings or to carry samples that need extensive study.

The writings are then taken into consideration. Interpreters may accompany the researchers where the language is completely vague. Past buildings were most embedded with Hebrew, Latin or Amharic languages. The patterns made on the wall are analyzed. The patterns could be images of gods for example in religious places.

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 widely studied at the current time. Most studies are based on assumptions. It gives a reel way to many divergent ideologies from scholars. The buildings taken into consideration are used to confirm history that is read in books. They act as raw evidence to the current history. Activities such as early trade have been proved by the existence of old markets that have a characteristic old model structure or outline.
