Stricken by a long history of conflict and consequently a period of amnesia, Beirut is again the battlefield for cultural and political action. Operating within this context, practices such as Atlas Group have deployed forensic methodologies to construct counter-narratives, fictions and imaginaries that bypass states of amnesia. The assemblage of archival documents, artefacts and testimonies set up an alternative representation of the city, to be displayed and circulated publicly. Ironically, these methods of collecting, measuring and displaying are authoritative acts symptomatic of control practices. They unconsciously construct classifications, indexes and notational systems of representation and, therefore, set up power relations between the author and the untrained eye. The studio Dossiers: Cities Under Surveillance II will occupy this conflict between systems of control and the architect’s complicit role in the production of these systems. It aims to unpack discourse on security and surveillance through the representation tools inherent to the discipline itself. Acknowledging that architecture never stops representing, this studio will scrutinise both the methodologies and the documents architects and spatial practices produce in post-traumatic contexts. We, the surveyors, will now be surveyed.
