Masterclass on Architectural Forensics in ENIAtype
What is it about?
Architectural Forensics encompasses the seizure, forensic imaging (acquisition) and analysis of digital media through the production of a set of precise drawings and models. Forensics deals primarily with the recovery and analysis of latent evidence. Latent evidence can take many forms, from fingerprints left on a window to traces unwittingly left behind from dust particles, Wi-Fi signals, chewing gum and hair to the files on a hard drive.
Why is it important?
Through architectural forensics in ENIAtype, the design ideas and drawings will be used to reshape the built environment around new values and behaviours. Ecological design replacement towards ecological forensics will be accelerated by external shocks and shaped by the emergence of a new kind of human being. This is possible because of three major changes design technologies has brought about a major shift in the use and application of digital tools in architecture, shift away from representation and towards documentation and the consequences of new spatial terrains yet to be explored.
