Francesco Sebregondi

Francesco Sebregondi is an architect and a researcher. He is a research fellow and coordinator of the “Forensic Architecture” project, which is funded by the European Research Council and is based at the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London, directed by Eyal Weizman. He is currently coordinating the MAPP project (“Media Aggregation and Plotting Platform”), which extends the work of “Forensic Architecture”—its objective is to build a web-based tool to collect, organize, and visualize data in the context of human rights research and investigation. Since 2013, he has been teaching in the School of Architecture at the Royal College of Art in London on the topic of architecture and activism. His research explores the role of architecture as medium, witness, and agent of urban conflicts. He is an editor of the volume Forensis: The architecture of public truth (Sternberg Press, 2014). In 2012, he published the pamphlet The event of void: Architecture and politics in the evacuated Heygate estate (self-published, 2011).
