Spatial forensics: Speech of spatial facts, digital investigative methods, proving, and expert argumentation
Keywords: forensics; spatial forensics; architectural forensics; digital technologies; proving procedure and investigation; argumentation of spatial proofs
Abstract
The research subject of the study is the forensic research method observed within the integrative field of spatial, architectural and urban design studies and security studies. Initially considered an art of argumentation in public deliverance of proof, forensics in the defined context possesses specificity of speech of the proofs inherent to spatial entities and practices regarding all spatial scales. Thus, in concepts of spatial, urban, and architectural forensics one finds argumentation of spatial entities within the proving procedures for legal and security frameworks. Inside the three-part configuration that Weizman (2017) postulates as a basis of forensic architecture methodology, containing the following: 1) the investigated matter or object, which is made to speak, 2) the interpreter or analyst that translates the language of objects to people, and 3) translation, or the form, content, and way the results are presented to the public or an assembly where claims are made and contested, one recognises 1) the role of space and spatial artefacts as material proofs themselves, as well as objects preserving proofs or their inscriptions, 2) the profession of spatial, architectural, and urban designers and analysts that are able to read and translate the speech of space and spatial artefacts, relying on expert skills to identify relevant facts, and 3) argumentation form - the expertise, professional assessment, or report that will be communicated, corresponding to the dissemination requirements and environment. The stability and disruptions of constitutive elements of the forensic proof triangle will be observed with the aim to theoretically investigate and apply the proposed method, supported by the proving procedure analysis and practice of issuance of an expert opinion. The paper will consider contemporary spatial (architectural and urban) designs and analyses that have contested security aspects, with the support of digital technologies and instruments as means of spatial data acquisition, analysis, processing, and proving.
