Patient Patients. Architektur als Medium der Fürsorge und Fürsprache in Investigationen von Forensic Architecture
Abstract
Which therapeutic and legal promises of disclosure are the investigations of forensic architecture based upon? And which registers are marginalized in forensic-aesthetic explorations and in their media stagings? There is no agreement about the extent to which forensic architecture aims to be accepted
by judicial institutions and thereby appropriates its methods of
procedure and articulation, while allowing unexpected
possibilities for action to emerge. Derived from Justitia’s prohibition of
visual illustration, the central thesis of this article concerns the break with representational conventions, which causes a transfer of affect to the «patient patient» (lat.: pati = to endure, suffer) of architecture as a medium of care and advocacy.
