  • VENICE, ITALY - 4 JUNE 2016: Visitors look at the lightbox on the Case 2 study on Israel's 2014 attack on Rafah, Gaza, in the exhibition presented by Forensic Architecture at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy, on June 4th 2016. The team analysed video footage from social media of Israeli military attacks on Gaza in 2014 to prove the army was using one-tonne bombs in heavily populated residential areas, resulting in high civilian casualties. By overlaying images of bomb clouds from multiple viewpoints, they generated a 3D model and triangulated the exact location of the strike.<br />

Forensic Architecture is a reaearch agency based in London. It engages with the production and presentation of spatial evidence in the context of human rights violations, armed conflict and political struggles. Composed of architects, artists, filmmakers, journalists, lawyers and scientists, it uses architectural analysis, models and animations to construct evidence files for international prosecutors, truth commissions, human rights investigations and UN enquiries.<br />

In its exhibition Forensic Architecture presents from four recent investigations. Undertaken at different scales, these cases extend from the micro-analysis  of a single ruin from a drone strike in Miranshah, Pakistan, to the urban analysis of the city of Rafah in Gaza under Israeli attack; the death of refugees and migrants in the Mediterrannean Sea to the environmental violence along the shifting climatic frontiers of desertification and deforestations. study on Israel's 2014 attack on Rafah, Gaza, in the exhibition presented by Forensic Architecture at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy, on June 4th 2016.

  • VENICE, ITALY - 4 JUNE 2016: The full-scale mock-up of a room bombed-out from a US army drone strike in Pakistan,  with strings extending from the shrapnel pock-marks in the walls back into the centre of the room to determine the point of explosion of the bomb, is here in the exhibition presented by Forensic Architecture at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy, on June 4th 2016. The model proves the damage was the result of an “architectural missile”, capable of being detonated on a specific floor of a building, while the “shadows” – where there are no shrapnel marks (marked here in red) – denote the locations of the victims killed in the attack.<br />

  • VENICE, ITALY - 4 JUNE 2016: The plaster cast of David Olère's visual testimony of the removal of corpses from the gas chamber, showing the gastight door with the metal protection over the peephole, is seen here in The Evidence Room at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy, on June 4th 2016.<br />
<br />
The Evidence Room exhibition, presented by the University of Waterloo lead by Canadian scholar Robert Jan Van Pelt and, is a reconstruction of key architectural elements of Auschwitz that disproved the Holocaust denier David Irving who had sued American scholar Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher for libel.  In her 1994 book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, Lipstadt counted Irving among Hitler apologists and revisionists seeking to downplay the scale of the Holocaust and the systematic murder of six million European Jews. <br />
<br />
Robert Jan van Pelt served as the expert witness in the trial, and his report became one of the sources of inspiration for the new discipline of architectural forensics, which is located at the intersection of architecture, technology, history, law and human rights.<br />
<br />
The exhibition, which force us to examine architecture used for evil – and designed by architects complicit in crimes against humanity, reconstructs some of those forensic details, including full-scale models of a gas column, a gas door, and a wall section with gas-tight hatch – all of which were shown in court to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Auschwitz was, as Van Pelt says, “a purposefully designed factory of death, equipped with large, homicidal gas chambers and massive incinerators.”

The theme of the Biennale titles "Reporting from the Front", selected by 2016 director Alejandro Aravena, is an investigation into the role of architects in the battle to improve the living conditions for people all over the world. The theme aims to focus on architecture which works within the constraints presented by a lack of resources, and those designs which subvert the status quo to produce architecture for the common good - no matter how small the success.

  • COMISO (RAGUSA), ITALY - 19 MARCH 2019: Tools are seen here by Travertino stone blocks in a sawmill in Comiso (Ragusa), Italy, on March 19th 2019.<br />
<br />
The pietra pece (pitchstone) is a type of limestone which is charachterized by different percentages of bitumen.<br />
This morphologic origin makes the pietra pece particularly unique for its peculiar chromatic shading.<br />
In fact, the pietra pece is also called "asphaltic stone" because it has a colour that varies from gray to dark brown.    <br />
The company DESCAT has been the owner of the registered trademark of the pietra pece since 2014 and it has the ownership of the only extractive pietra pece quarry situated in the Tabuna/Cortolillo district in Ragusa, Sicily. The pietra is distributed by Artigianato Industriale.
