Eyal Weizman is a Professor of Spatial and Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the founding director of Forensic Architecture.
Since opening the agency in 2010, Weizmann has led a team comprising architects, scientists, computer programmers, video editors, and lawyers to investigate human rights violations around the world. With a mandate to develop and employ new evidence-gathering tools, Forensic Architecture starts at the spatial dimensions of power to uncover the truths obscured by enablers of state and corporate violence.
Using architectural representations and digital modeling to map and analyze data, the group has presented its findings in forums from renowned exhibition centers to international courtrooms. Weizman is a member of the Technology Advisory Board of the International Criminal Court and of the Centre for Investigative Journalism. Alongside Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti, he began the Palestine-based architecture practice DAAR in 2007.
