Eyal Weizman

An authority on the architecture of Israel’s occupation, Weizman has written on and practiced in relation to the architecture of Israel’s occupation, suggesting ways to decolonise architecture in the occupied territories. Weizman recently established Forensic Architecture, a research project based at Goldsmith University. Its aim is to analyse the physical ruins and debris left behind by drone strikes and other forms of mass-attack  by working with archaeological scans, mobile phone footage and interviews with witnesses  in order to create detailed, architectural reconstructions of such events.

Forensic Architecture’s investigations provide evidence for international prosecution teams, political organisations NGOs and the United Nations.
