Architecture's realm of authenticity and fakery remains largely overlooked in public discourse, with limited scholarly attention. This book delves into these critical aspects, presenting a timely collection of analytical essays and projects. Photographers, writers, and architects contribute their perspectives, exploring the spaces and concepts between reality and imagination. They seek to find common ground between function and storytelling, challenging our perception of authenticity through examinations of built and simulated environments, architectural fiction, theatrical illusions, and mannerist trickery. The authors examine the paradox within the principle of Sullivan's form follows function, highlighting the ambiguity and complexity of architectural expression. Buildings are perceived through individual experiences and cultural values, revealing moments of truth, deception, and ambiguity. The showcased works unveil the multifaceted nature of built environments, inviting critical thought about our physical and digital surroundings. This publication aims to go beyond exposing deception in architecture, unraveling the timelines and revealing the layered nature of people and places. Through images and essays, it portrays our contemporary condition, allowing collective and individual narratives to unfold, revealing a range of truths in themselves. Expanding beyond discussions of truthful materiality and tectonics, this book offers insights into the realms of real, authentic, and fake in urbanism and architecture.
Anne-Catrin Schultz, a trained architect, has extensively researched and written on these topics, contributing her expertise to the field.
