SITU Research is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary studio that uses satellite imagery, 3D reconstruction, and geospatial analysis to document conflict zones and support human rights investigations.
Satellite imagery, CCTV archives, 3D game engines, geospatial analysis. SITU Research treats these as instruments of accountability. The Clinton Hill practice is the research arm of SITU, founded in Brooklyn in 2005, and it has spent years building a methodology that sits between architecture, journalism, and international law: reconstruct what happened, where, and by whom. That means building a digital twin of occupied Bucha from drone footage, or developing a custom evidentiary platform that helped the International Criminal Court prosecute its first war crimes case. The question underneath all of it is consistent: when an atrocity produces a deluge of visual data, how do you turn raw footage into facts a court can use?
