Forensic Architecture create digital reconstruction of an "architectural instrument of torture"
Forensic Architecture has created an interactive model of a notorious torture prison in Syria, using the eye and ear witness accounts of survivors.
Forensic Architecture, a research group based at Goldsmith's university in London, created the interactive model of the prison for the human rights organisation Amnesty International.
The model named Saydnaya: Inside a Syrian Torture Prison aims to show conditions inside Saydnaya, a detention centre for political prisoners that is located 15 miles north of Damascus.
The prison ? described by Amnesty as an "architectural instrument of torture" ? is said to carry out the brutal torture of Syrians suspected of opposing the Assad government regime
Outsider entrance to the prison is severely restricted, so the digital model is based on the testimonies of survivors.
"In recent years, no visits from independent journalists or monitoring groups that report publicly have been permitted to the prison," explained the team.
"As there are no recent photographs of its interior spaces, the memories of Saydnaya survivors are the only resource with which to recreate the spaces, conditions of incarceration and incidents that take place inside."
