Amid urban conflicts, how can architecture be used to investigate and expose state violence, human rights violations? To answer this question, you'll want to get to know the team behind Forensic Architecture. They're a research collective using architectural analysis, open-source investigations, digital modelling — alongside traditional investigative methods — to trace the residue of conflict in our built environment.

Its founder, Eyal Weizman, joins Blueprint for Living to introduce this practice, and how his work stretches from the world's premier art galleries to the halls of the International Criminal Court.

This was first aired on August 26, 2017.
