Unfolding across five parts, this issue frames the notion of pseudo along and beyond its ties with the “fake”. While part one, “Simulation,” blends the artificial with the familiar – whether in scale models or controlled biomes – the following part, “Promise,” explores how futures are staged to organise the present. “Role” examines how identities become naturalized through space, claiming to be neutral, caring or traditional. “Scam” investigates architecture and urbanism as credible deceptive practices, where authenticity is fabricated and images pave the way for a collective participation in illusions. “Construction” examines how territorial interventions, such as camps, corridors, or quarries, produce political realities and stabilise power, turning narration into infrastructure. Ultimately, pseudo emerges as a condition that both shifts and suspends reality: not fully true, yet never entirely false.
