INTRODUCTION Forensic Architecture research team was formed in 2010 by a group of architects, including Eyal Weizman from Goldsmiths, University of London, collaborating with multi-disciplines1. They investigate national political violence and the violence of military strikes through architectural surveys, Analyze the urban environment and reconstructed architectural models, and simulated scenario animations. Forensis means "in open court" or "public" in Latin, looking for evidence and discussing it openly. Instead of analyzing blood and bones like traditional forensic methods2. Forensic Architecture uses buildings as the principal object of investigation. Weizman pointed out that building form and structure continuously change over time3. He believes that architecture is perceptual and can record changes in different fields, climate change in meteorology, and national politics transformation in international relations4. These buildings' record is the evidence sought in forensics.
