In considering the buildings as both sensors and inscriptive devices, Forensic Architecture unfolds investigation upon the architectural space to compose relations between evidence from all available sources including satellite images, security camera, smartphone, meteorology detectors, and also the traces of effect on the architecture and plants around. When the pixels resolution is strategically controlled by certain entities that the access of satellite images is rather limited, stacks of other information promises arduous analytic process to recognize the relevant evidence and anchor the incident in a particular space-time relation. In this regard, what Forensic Architecture deals with is a kind of bruised information dwelling under the surface of the incident. It is weak and fragile, camouflaged by the seemingly unproblematic appearance. In a state of lurking and murky, the information straddles at the threshold of detectability. Yet in the meanwhile, the tension and effect it created have already developed, sprawling along the extended time scale and pointing back towards the possible perpetrators of incidents.
